Steemit Iron Chef Challenge #2 ....CARROTS....Carrot Apple Salad.
Being Canadian we have an abundance of Apple tree's, and we are currently in the thick of Apple picking season, so I thought it only be appropriate to include apples in my recipe with Carrots for the Steemit Iron Chef Challenge #2. I have chosen to make a family favorite that I make quite often. It is an Apple Carrot Salad. Most of the ingredients can be traditionally found throughout the pantry so no need to take a trip to the grocery store. These apples I picked from a farmer's field. Hope you enjoy my submission.
As you can see most if not all the ingredients are typical of any pantry. You may substitute the Rice Vinegar for ordinary White Vinegar.
First you must peel the 2 carrots, and chop into small bits 2 medium apples.
Then select a bow and shred the 2 carrots.
Then you add the apples and the 1/4 cup of raisins. The raisins can be substituted for currents, and the apples can be substituted for pears.
Then you add the vinegar and the Mayonnaise, and white sugar.
Mix it all up and serve cold. It makes enough to serve 6 people. Makes a great starter.
The following is the recipe. Hope you enjoy.
2 large carrots, coarsely grated
1 apple or pear, chopped into little bits
1/4 cup raisins or currants
1 tsp. sugar
3 Tbsp. mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. rice vinegar
Happy Trails
I often eat carrot salad - tasty and full of nutrients - but it's first time i see a version with apples and mayo !! Vinegar !! I don t know if i d like it !!
It actually is taste. The sugar off sets the sour taste of the vinegar. You should try it.
I see !! I will definetely try

Hello @gardengirlcanada! How i'm happy to see you for the 2nd round of steemit iron chef my friend and this time with a 100% valid entry!
I'm so glad you got it right my friend!
My wife just love this salad, and I do too! It's quite near to a coleslaw but without cabbage.
As you said, eating this salad well chilled is just amazing!

Nice Canadian salad. We used to eat this often in the fall. My Grandmother used to make it for us.
I am actually surprised at how many countries cannot grow apple tree's. Thank goodness Canada can, cause the oodles of recipes with apples would be so lost. Centuries worth and a bunch of family secrets, like apple cinnamon crisp. Thanks for stopping by.
My kids loved apple crisp. It is now the most requested dessert of my grandkids. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. :)
my mum used to make one just like this :)
