Equipment

Ingredients

1/4 cup dark raisins
2 cups shredded carrots
1/2 ounce walnuts, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
2 tablespoons chopped celery
2 tablespoons chopped green bell pepper (I left this out)
1-2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (to taste)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon honey mustard
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a small bowl combine the raisins and 1/4 cup warm water and set aside to soak.
In a medium bowl toss together the carrots, walnuts, green onion, celery and bell pepper, vinegar, oil and mustard. You'll want to stir and toss well so everything is well combined.
Drain the raisins, reserving 1 tablespoon of the water.
Add the raisins and reserved water to the carrot mixture. Toss again.
Taste and adjust the seasoning adding salt, pepper and/or additional vinegar or mustard to taste.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
