Directions:
-
- Don't cut up the apple until right before it is added, so it doesn't turn brown. It is the last item added.
- Grate carrots with a grater. Alternatively, you can cut them into very fine julienne slices. Chop onions, celery and celery leaves. Combine in a large bowl to mix. Add raisins and nuts, if using, and toss into salad.
- Juice the lime. In a small bowl, combine oil, vinegar, mustard, honey, lime juice, salt and pepper and blend.
- Pour dressing over salad and toss to coat well. Peel, core and chop up the apple, and immediately add the apple to the salad and toss to coat with dressing.
- This salad will keep in the fridge for 2 to 3 days, in a sealed container.

Serve and enjoy!
