Ingredients:
- 1½ pounds carrots, peeled and shredded
- 1 cup chopped apples (such as Granny Smith or Fuji)
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
Dressing:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded carrots, chopped apples, celery, red onion, walnuts, and dried cranberries.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and mix well to combine.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Suggestions for Enhancing the Recipe:
- Add a touch of sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter salad, you can add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the dressing.
- Add a bit of spice: For a spicy kick, sprinkle a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika over the salad.
- Use fresh herbs: Incorporate chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, cilantro, or chives for added freshness and flavor.
- Make it a main course: Add some grilled or roasted chicken or shrimp to make the salad a more substantial meal.
- Experiment with different fruit: Instead of apples, try using chopped pears, raisins, or pineapple for a different flavor combination.
- Roast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts before adding them to the salad will intensify their flavor.
- Use a different dressing: If you’re not a fan of mayonnaise, try using a yogurt-based dressing or a vinaigrette.
- Garnish with a drizzle: After refrigerating, garnish the salad with a drizzle of balsamic reduction for a touch of sophistication.
