Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables and Apple
  • Begin by gathering all your ingredients for this vibrant salad. Wash and peel the carrot and apple, then proceed to shred them into fine pieces for added texture. Chop a small onion and your choice of fresh herbs, such as dill and/or parsley.

Be sure to taste the salad; you can easily adjust the salt and pepper to your liking. This easy method allows all the ingredients to shine through while keeping things quick and simple!

  • This delightful salad can be enjoyed in various ways! You can savor it on its own as a refreshing and light lunch or a healthy snack any time of day. I especially love serving it alongside crispy fried fish and golden potatoes—they complement each other perfectly! The tangy crunch of the salad adds a vibrant contrast to the rich flavors of the fish, creating a balanced and satisfying meal. Enjoy every bite!
