Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 4 large carrots


• 1/2 cup of raisins


• 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar


• 1 tablespoon of honey


• Salt and ground black pepper to taste


• 1/4 cup of toasted nuts

You’ll also need a salad bowl, a knife, a whisk and a grater.

The apple cider vinegar adds a tangy kick to your Carrot Slaw, and the honey balances it out with a touch of sweetness. The toasted nuts add a perfect crunch to every mouthful. If you want to make it vegan-friendly, swap honey with maple syrup.

How To Make Carrot Slaw Recipe

1. Begin by peeling and grating your carrots. Mix the grated carrots with raisins in your salad bowl.


2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. The balance between tangy and sweet is the key here, so adjust to your taste.


3. Pour the dressing over the carrots and raisins. Toss everything well so the dressing coats evenly. Let it rest for about 10 minutes to marinate the flavors.


4. Finish off by sprinkling the toasted nuts over the slaw. And voila, your scrumptious Carrot Slaw is ready to serve!

Tips For The Best Results

• Store your salad in the fridge for a couple of hours before serving. This allows the flavors to marinate and develop.


• Keep the dressing and salad separate until you are ready to serve. This prevents the slaw from getting soggy.

Storage Tips

• The Carrot Slaw can last 3-5 days in the fridge, but remember to keep the dressing separate until you’re ready to serve.
