You guuuuys.
It’s finally the first day of school around here!
Y’all know I love summer but man, this was a long one. This was the first summer in years that we didn’t take several roadtrips so it was just me and 3 boys.
All summer.
In central Texas. Where from the hours of 9 am to 7 pm, it’s too hot to play outside most days.
ANYWAY.
So now we’re transitioning to school and soccer and football and whatever else the boys plan on getting into. I’m anticipating a very busy fall.
This Carrot Apple Salad is kind of like a cole slaw but it doesn’t have cabbage and I refuse to call anything without cabbage a slaw so we’re calling it a salad.
But it’s thinly sliced carrots and apples in a creamy cole slaw dressing that’s sweet and tangy and delicious.
Oh, and then you toss in some raisins for extra sweetness and a little chewiness.
It takes minutes to put together AND you probably already have everything in your fridge/pantry.
My 6 year old is obsessed with this salad. Obsessed. I packed it in his lunchbox this morning.
Ingredients
- Carrots
- Granny Smith Apples – you can use any type of apple but I think the tartness of a granny smith works really well in this salad.
- Raisins
- Mayo
- Sour Cream
- Sugar
- Apple Cider Vinegar
How To Make Carrot Apple Salad
- Prep ingredients. Combine carrots, apples, and raisins in a large mixing bowl.
- Make dressing. Whisk together mayo, sour cream, sugar, apple cider vinegar, and salt and pepper until well combined.
- Combine. Pour over the carrot mixture and toss to combine.
How Long Is It Good For?
Carrot apple salad is good for up to 3 days. Make sure to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
The carrots and apple will continue to soften the longer it sits so by day 3, it may be a little mushy.
