1/2 cup raisins or cranberries (dried)

1/4 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)

1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots and diced apples.

    Add the raisins (or cranberries) and chopped nuts to the bowl. Mix well.

      In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, salt, and pepper until smooth.

        Pour the dressing over the carrot-apple mixture and toss everything together until evenly coated.

            Once mixed, let the salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
