Inge 1505's Note:

Typical German Rohkost ("raw food"). Healthy, quick and full of flavour.Slightly sweet and refreshing. Eat as a lunch with wholemeal bread or as a light dinner with bread and an additional tomato salad.

I love this recipe and salads with yogurt. I think that yogurt is a wonderful ingredients for salad dressing.
I had all ingredients on hand and it was fast and easy to prepare this delicious salad.
Thanks a lot for this recipe.

Another outstanding vote from me. I used pecans and they were a great go with for the carrots and apple. I used fat free yogurt as that is what I always buy and the sweet carrots and apple played wonderfully with the yogurt. This would be ideal in the summer or as a holiday side dish. Very simple and quick using the food processor to grate everything in a few seconds.

I didn't really like this, but I used pre-cut matchstick carrots, they were probably too thick for this salad, so I suggest hand grate. Also, I used vanilla yogurt but felt it needed more tang so next time would use plain and add the honey. I just felt something was missing from this.
