Yeah its really easy and healthy and you can make tons of variations.





You need:


about 4-6 carrots


1 Apple


Lettuce (preferably iceberg)


1 cup of Pine Nuts


2-3 cups of raisins

Wash the lettuce. Dont cut it but instead tear off whole leaves. Next peal then grate the carrots and apple reasonably finley. If theres too much or too little just adjust it to your taste. Add this to the lettuce. Lightly fry the pine nuts in either olive oil or sunflower oil until lightly browned. Add these to the salad. Add the raisins. Toss the ingredients together.


In a cup squeeze the juice of a whole lemon and several tablespoons of olive oil. Mix these together. Add the dressing to the salad. Add pepper to taste.
