This refreshing salad combines the natural sweetness of carrots and cranberries with a tangy dressing for a delightful side dish.
Soak the dried cranberries in warm water for about 5 minutes, then drain and place them in a mixing bowl.
Soaking the cranberries softens them and enhances their natural sweetness.
Grate the fresh carrots and add them to the bowl with the cranberries.
Use a box grater for evenly shredded carrots.
Chop the celery into small pieces and add it to the bowl.
Ensure the celery is chopped finely for a balanced texture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, lemon juice, and salt until smooth.
Taste the dressing and adjust the sweetness or tanginess to your preference.
Pour the dressing over the carrot mixture and toss until well combined.
Ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Chilling the salad enhances the flavor and makes it more refreshing.
