- Lightly brown walnuts on a cookie sheet in medium hot oven about 7-8 minutes.
- Combine dressing ingredients, set aside into fridge to cool. (1/2 hour at least)
- Peel apples, carrots and ginger root slice.
- Using a food processor grate apples, carrots and ginger root slice.
- Finely chop parsley and chili pepper.
- Combine all and toss with dressing.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Delicious served with BBQ ribs, steak, chicken, pork or shishkebab. Also awesome with veggy burgers.
Added Tips:
- For a different taste make the salad with finely grated brocoli stocks or finely grated celley. Not only will it taste great it will only make it healthier.
- For a different look use rainbow colored carrots this will even impress the kids.

This sounds wonderful! We are having a potluck soon and I might have to try this (without the chili powder).
Thank you.
Shalini, glad you came for a visit. The rainbow carrots are mainly just for looks I find that they do not taste that much different. The white ones are maybe not quite as sweet tasting.
Enjoy,thanks for taking a look and for commenting

I know what we're having for dinner tonight :)
Sounds great, thanks - I'll let you know how it turns out. Only wish we had rainbow carrots to add a bit more colour!
BJC, thanks for taking a look and for commenting.

dohn121, I really like the colored carrots...as far as I'm concerned they don't taste too different maybe less sweet but they make for a great looking salad.
Hope you get a chance to try this recipe soon.

Bob, so glad when you pop in for a visit. This is the first year I have rainbow carrots. I've been making this salad to go with each BBQ.
Let me know what you think
regards Zsuzsy
This sounds yummy. Will make it very soon.
Great recipe, Zsuzsy Bee. I'll give a try! It'd be great right about now.
I really liked the picture of the rainbow colored carrots by the way. Very tie-dye!
Yum! I have to make this and soon.

RGraf, the little piece of chili pepper(not chili powder) just gives it a tiny bit of zing, not hot at all. My granddaughters love it, they are 8 and 4. The salad is great without too though.
Always glad when you pop by for a visit.
