This carrot apple salad recipe is simple to make and delivers a fresh taste thanks to a creamy dressing made with yoghurt, cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche, lemon and a touch of maple syrup. Not only is this salad made with carrots and apples, but there is also golden beetroot added to the mix. The result is a tangy \u201ccoleslaw\u201d (rohkostsalat) that\u2019s packed with naturally sweet flavours and good for your nutrients. One that makes the perfect accompaniment to any evening \u201cBrotzeit\u201d. And I\u2019m willing to bet it would be a great accompaniment with a burger \u2014 even my sweet potato burger. Or even classic fish and chips.<\/p>\n

Inspiration for this delicious carrot-apple-beet salad<\/h2>\n

I can thank my friend Corrina for inspiring me to make this salad. This deliciously simple salad recipe is based on one she makes often. I\u2019m not entirely sure my version is at all the same, but nonetheless it is based on the same core ingredients \u2014 apples, carrots, yoghurt, lemon, cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche, and maple syrup \u2014 plus beetroot which I think she also includes from time to time. At least that\u2019s what she did when she made this salad for me.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s such a deliciously welcome change from carrot slaw as I know it in Canada. I\u2019m even convinced this version resembles childhood memories of a Creamsicle<\/a>, which is course nonsense. My favourite Schwabe on the other hand says it tastes like a cumber salad. Whatever memories it may stir up, they are definitely delicious ones.<\/p>\n

How grate ingredients for this salad<\/h2>\n

There are three main methods for grating fruit and vegetables. One takes a little muscle power and the other two let the machine do the work. Depending on how energetic I am feeling determines my method of choice. I often use my box grater<\/a>, which of course, is the manual way, the method I grew up with. But, when I am looking to save energy, I pull out my food processor and use the grating disc attachment. And newly, I have been taking advantage of the nifty attachments for my Kitchenaid. One that has completely overlooked how fantastic it is, is the vegetable cutter attachment<\/a>. Practical, quick and easy to clean. Perfect for a grating marathon. Or a carrot salad.<\/p>\n

\nAn easy to adapt carrot apple salad<\/h2>\n

The fantastic thing about this salad recipe is that you can play with the proportions. It\u2019s flexible enough that you can add more of one thing and less of another, depending on what you have on hand. And you can play up the color of the salad, by adding earthy red beets instead of golden, or candy-cane striped beets (called Chioggia) which are both sweeter and milder in taste. Or try heirloom carrots. By using a mix of orange and purple carrots you will also get a peachy-pink salad. In this version I used pale yellow heirloom carrots and yellow beets, which gave the salad a pale orange color.<\/p>\n
