This has such a clean fresh taste and the apple gives it a nice juicy sweetness while the
Basil and oil give a nice contrast in flavour. If your kids are not used to herbs start them
slowly leave it out the first time then add the smallest amounts increasing each time.
This side salad is a refreshing addition to any meal.
1x] large carrot peeled and grated
1 or 2 courgettes depending on size, washed and grated
1 apple washed and grated
Juice of ½ lemon or lime, to prevent apples from browning.
1-2 Tbsp lemon or lime infused extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
– careful not to overdo the oil; you are looking for a fresh fruity taste
A squeeze of orange is also nice
4-5 fresh basil leaves finely shredded(optional use other herb if you wish)
Place grated carrot, courgette and apple in a bowl squeeze a little lemon or lime juice
over and toss.
Add basil bowl mix together well.
Drizzle over oil a little at a time – you don’t want to drown it just enough to coat everything
lightly so it is not sticking together.
If you prefer just use orange juice.
