I didn't really like this, but I used pre-cut matchstick carrots, they were probably too thick for this salad, so I suggest hand grate. Also, I used vanilla yogurt but felt it needed more tang so next time would use plain and add the honey. I just felt something was missing from this.

    Nice salad, easy to make and very tasty. I particularly liked the nut and carrot combination, nuts giving it a nice crunch. I used a no-fat, thick Greek yogurt to save a few fat calories, wildflower honey and 2 teaspoons lemon juice. Thanks!

    This makes a really tasty lunch. I doubled the recipe and used 1/2 granny smith (tart) apple and one medium red delicious (sweet) apple. Tossed them with the lemon juice. I also added a pinch of red pepper flakes which I added to the yogurt first and set aside to meld while grating the apples and carrots. You did not say to peel apples and I didn't. I used chopped salted peanuts so left out the added salt. I shredded a bit of red cabbage, lined halves of wheat pita bread and filled with carrot/apple mixture. This was enjoyed by several folks along with mint ice tea. Really enjoyed this and will make again. I do recommend the pepper flakes otherwise I think it would be a bit bland. Thanks, Inge, for a lovely lunch!

    Scrumptious!!! My DH and I love this salad. My friend has a recipe similar to this, but this one is much better. To keep the apples from turning brown I put them in a separate bowl with the lemon juice and tossed them around before adding them to the carrots. This kept them from browing so quickly and it made the apples have a nice little lemony zing to them! I also used whole-milk vanilla yogurt as it was the only kind that I had on hand, but it helped sweeten the salad without having to use as much honey. And instead of nuts I added raisins, they get very nice and plump after being in with the juicy carrots and apples. Great recipe Inge! Definately a keeper that I will be making again and again! Thanks!!!
