Carrot Apple And Walnut Salad

• 1 cup Walnuts, Coarsely Chopped, Lightly Toasted
• 1/2 cups Raisins
• 1 pound (about 5 Large) Carrots, Peeled And Sliced Into Matchsticks
• 2 Apples (we Used Granny Smith), Peeled, Cored And Sliced Into Matchsticks
• 3 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice, Divided
• 3 Tablespoons Sunflower Oil
• 1/2 teaspoons Salt
• 1/8 teaspoons Black Pepper To Taste

1. 1. Toast walnuts on a dry skillet until golden. Remove from heat to cool (keep an eye on them; they can burn quickly).
2. 2. Soak raisins in 1 cup boiling hot water for about 1 minute to soften them up. Drain well and set aside.
3. 3. Cut carrots into matchsticks and place them in a large mixing bowl.
4. 4. Cut apples into matchsticks and toss them with 1 tablespoon lemon juice right away to prevent browning (I used a granny smith apples but most apples will work well).
5. 5. Add soaked raisins and toasted walnuts to the bowl.
6. 6. In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice, sunflower oil, salt and black pepper. Pour the dressing over salad and stir until combined.
