Apple and Carrot Salad with Basil

INGREDIENTS

6 apples
3 carrots
2 cups raisins
1/4 cup plain, nonfat yogurt
1/2 cup sour cream
2 Tbsp lemon zest
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp molasses
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 pkg basil, cut into strips

DIRECTIONS

There's no need to peel the apples or carrots. Scrub well, core the apples, and shred both the apples and the carrots. In a large salad bowl, mix the apples and carrots with the raisins.

To make the dressing, whisk together yogurt and sour cream in a small mixing bowl. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, molasses, vinegar, and salt and whisk to combine.

Add the dressing to the salad and toss. If possible, let the salad sit for about an hour in the refrigerator. Just before serving, toss in the sliced basil.
