A is for Apple, C is for Carrot Salad

Debbwl's Note:

The fresh ginger root and cinnamon add both interest and warmth to this salad and please do not forget to lightly toast the walnuts as the toasting release oils that bring even more flavor. I use a food processer to do the grating which makes this come together very quickly.

Made this recipe as given, using raw clover honey & one of the largest Fuji apples I could find! Easy to make, & absolutely delicious! Another salad I'll be happy to make again & again! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in Everyday Is a Holiday recipe tag]

I love carrot and apple salad and the lime addition makes this one a star. I doubled the cinnamon and the amount of dressing. There was enough for 4 servings and it vanished with two of us, lol. The food processor made this so quickly that it was 6 mins start to finish. Used fat free yogurt and Splenda for the honey. Yummmm :D
