Apple Carrot Salad
Every time my husband and I talk about vegetarian or vegan dishes he reminds me about this salad. It’s one he seriously loves that his mom would make growing up. He says it’s like lemonade with apples and carrots. I’ve had it a few times over the years we’ve been together but he forgets. This Apple Carrot Salad is great for a summer picnic!
He tells me that in Czech they use apple carrot salad to feed to cancer patients when they are not hungry since it’s so tasty and it’s healthy. I really enjoy it in the spring and summer seasons. I think it’s fantastic on it’s own or pair with almost any kind of meal. Great at barbecue’s, picnics, and pot lucks.
At Christmas we bought a grater attachment for our kitchen aid mixer. I have to say we love it! A few weeks ago, we did some cucumber sandwiches for an event. We used the attachment that is a slicer to slice them. Took seconds to do rather than cutting all by hand. Have to say that helped tremendously!
Really happy that we have this and the new juicer for key lime pies and more! My kitchen aid is probably one tool I would never get rid of. It’s been with us eight years now. We have found more and more reasons to use it. Attachments are amazing!
If your thinking of attachments let me know in the comments. I might have some recommendations on which we use more than others. We are still collecting certain ones ourselves. Here is a little video on how to make this salad giving more a visual.

Love this recipe! I remember when I was growing up in Czech Republic, we used to have this salad with lunch at school at least once a week, it was my favorite. I was just talking to my daughter about it the other day, she hates carrots, I made this salad for her and she loved it! Thanks for the recipe!
I am glad you enjoyed the recipe and it brought back memories. My husband is Czech and grew up eating it. He says it’s one of his favorites and great for kids!
