Notes
-
- To adjust servings, you can either use the tool on the recipe card or just respect the ratio of ⅓ apple, ⅔ carrots.
-
- The texture in this recipe depends on how you grate the carrots and apples. Good news: there's no particular rule for that. It's just a matter of personal preferences. Some French people prefer to grate the carrots on the large holes of the box grater whereas others prefer to use the small ones. Though, try not to choose extra small holes otherwise the apples will end up in purée instead of grated.
-
- Begin by shredding the carrots first. Why? Because shredded apples oxidize (turn brown) very quickly. To prevent that, once you have grated the apples, immediately pour the lemon juice dressing over them.
- To shred carrots: you can run the carrots through your food processor using the shredding attachment. Or you can use an electric shredder. Or you can shred your carrots on your box grater.
