Ingredients
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt 55 grams
- ½ teaspoon mild curry powder
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or more to taste
- 5 large carrots About 460 grams
- 1 large sweet apple 300 grams
Instructions
- Whisk yogurt, curry powder, honey and black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.¼ cup Greek yogurt, ½ teaspoon mild curry powder, 1 teaspoon honey, ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Peel the carrots and cut into thin ribbons using a vegetable peeler. (Hold a carrot in one hand, while with a peeler in the other hand you create ribbons peeling from top to bottom. Rotate the carrot regularly or after every three peels until you only have a small stick left. Repeat with other carrots).5 large carrots
- Peel the apple and cut short thin shavings. (Hold the apple in one hand, while with the other you peel thin shavings of the apple from top all the way to the bottom with a vegetable peeler. Rotate the apple regularly until you only have the core left).1 large sweet apple
- Toss the carrot ribbons and apple shavings gently into a serving bowl and combine with the dressing. I like to use a fork to combine and fluff in the dressing.
- Note: At first, it will look like you don’t have enough dressing, but continue to gently coat everything lightly. The flavors will melt together.
- Serve immediately. If preferred, season with extra freshly ground black pepper.
Notes
Notes:
- You will have some cores or some carrot bits that are too small to peel. Snack on them or chop them and add them to this carrot soup or carrot orange ginger juice.
- Mayonnaise: For a richer, creamier dressing, replace the yogurt with mayo.
- Raisins: For a sweeter touch, toss in regular or golden raisins.
- Nuts & Seeds: Add chopped walnuts and/or sunflower seeds for some crunchy texture, protein, and healthy fats.
