Carrot and apple quite often make a delicious combination. That’s why I have decided to throw these two ingredients together in a salad. For this recipe I wanted a tangy but creamy dressing to compliment to sweetness of the apple and the peppery taste of the rocket. I find mayonnaise a bit to heavy. Therefore I decided tahini would be a better option. The result were so yummy that I had to share the recipe with you. Below is a video and recipe for you.

Carrot and Apple Salad with Tahini and Orange Dressing was delicious. It was easy to prepare and serve. Personally this salad would be best served immediately after preparation. I find that apple tends to go bad very quickly. If you don’t mind brown apple pieces then you could make this recipe the day before and add the dressing when you want to serve it. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
