This healthy, fast, and simple grated carrot salad recipe has raisins, fresh sliced mint, toasted walnuts, fresh lemon juice, and olive oil.

Ingredients

  • 3 large carrots, peeled & grated
  • 1/3 cup raisins
  • zest from 1 lemon
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp e.v. olive oil
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, toasted & chopped
  • 1/3 cup fresh mint, chopped & divided
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • pinch black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment or aluminum foil.  Lay the walnuts out evenly and bake for ~ 6-8 minutes or until fragrant.  Remove from sheet, set aside and cool.
  • Combine carrots, raisins, walnuts, olive oil, lemon zest & juice, sea salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.  Mix and gently fold in 1/4 cup of sliced mint, leaving a couple Tablespoons for garnish.
  • Add sea salt to taste.  Garnish with any leftover mint.  Happy Eating!  Beckie

Notes

  • Don't want to turn the oven on?  Skip this step and throw the walnuts in your salad raw.
  • It's hard to tell when walnuts are toasted.  Let your nose & your tastebuds be your guide as to when they are done and make sure not to burn them (which is hard to tell by sight with toasted walnuts).
