Step 1

Toast walnuts on a dry skillet until golden then remove from heat to cool (keep an eye on them; they can burn quickly).

Step 2

Soak raisins in 1 cup boiling hot water for about 1 minute to soften them up. Drain well and set aside.

Step 3

Cut carrots into matchsticks and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Cut apples into matchsticks and toss them with 1 Tbsp lemon juice right away to prevent browning (I used granny smith apples but most apples will work well.

Step 5

Add soaked raisins and toasted walnuts to the bowl.

Step 6

In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine 2 Tbsp lemon juice, 3 Tbsp sunflower oil, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Pour the dressing over salad and stir until combined.

Chef’s notes

This salad stores really well in the refrigerator for several hours and the tiny bit that was leftover was still good the next day.
