Apple Carrot Salad

This is such a pretty, fresh, tangy, healthy side dish.  It is good any season (apples and carrots are good year round).  

• 2 large apples, 1 green (granny smith) and 1 red (Gala or honey crisp), cored, thinly sliced, and cut into matchsticks.

• 1 1/2 T fresh lemon juice (to taste - the juice of one lemon will be plenty)

• 3 C carrots, cut into matchsticks (you can probably find these already prepared in the store)

• 1/4 C chives, chopped 

• 1 T olive oil 
• 1 tsp sugar
• salt and pepper to taste (about 1/2 tsp each) 

• 2 oz feta cheese (French variety is great), crumbled.

In large bowl, toss apple matchsticks in lemon juice as you cut them.  Add everything else, toss to mix, adjust seasonings, and enjoy!

(Kaela, half of this recipe would be more than enough for you and Joe, as a side with fish or chicken.)
