“You can add other vegetables such as chopped celery or mange tout for added crunch. Any nuts are a good addition to this salad – toast them a little first in a dry frying pan for extra flavour.“

1. Wash and grate the carrots. Alternatively chop them into
   matchstick size pieces. Place in a bowl.
2. Wash the apple and chop into small chunks. Add to the bowl.
3. In a another bowl or cup, mix the oil, juice, and cumin and
   beat together with a whisk or fork.

   apple mixture. Season with the pepper.

   before serving.
