Carrot-Apple Slaw
(1 vote)
The type of apple used for the carrot-apple slaw is based totally on personal preference. You can use something a bit sweeter, like a Fuji, or go for something bold and tart, like a Granny Smith, that will stand out against the natural sweetness of the carrots. This salad is a great way to create a fresh and bright recipe from carrots and apples, two pieces of fall and winter produce. Also consider using walnuts in place of pecans.

4 cups shredded carrots
1 cup shredded apple
½ cup roasted pecans, coarsely chopped
