Creating the Carrot Apple Salad is straightforward. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Wash and Prepare Ingredients: Rinse carrots and apples under cold water. Peel the carrots if desired.
2. Grate the Carrots: Using a box grater or food processor, grate the carrots until you have about 2 cups.
3. Dice the Apples: Core and dice the apples into bite-sized pieces. You can leave the skin on for extra fiber.
4. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine grated carrots, diced apples, raisins, and walnuts (if using).
5. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt (or mayonnaise), honey, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
6. Combine Salad and Dressing: Pour the dressing over the carrot-apple mixture. Toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
7. Taste and Adjust: Taste the salad and adjust the sweetness or seasoning if necessary. Add more honey or lemon juice as desired.
8. Chill and Serve: For best flavor, refrigerate the salad for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
