Description
A refreshing salad featuring apples, carrots, and a creamy dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 red delicious apple
- 1 granny smith apple
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cups matchstick carrots (you can usually buy precut bags at the grocery store)
- 1/4 cup yellow onion, finely diced
- 1/3 cup dried sweetened cranberries
- 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
- 1/4 cup mayo
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup canned mandarin segments, drained
Instructions
- Cut both apples matchstick style and place the pieces in a bowl.
- Pour the lemon juice over the apple pieces in the bowl and toss well to coat all of the apples.
- Set the bowl aside to let the apples soak up the lemon juice for 5 minutes; this will prevent browning.
- Pour the matchstick carrots into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the diced onion and sweetened dried cranberries to the bowl.
- Once the apples have sat for at least 5 minutes, add them to the mixing bowl.
- Add the vanilla yogurt and mayo to the bowl.
- Add the sugar, salt, and pepper to the bowl.
- Stir all of the ingredients together well.
- Add the mandarins to the bowl and stir them into the salad.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least three hours.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- This salad is best served chilled.
