Notes

When I make it, I never use scallions. I use a mandolin to thinly slice the apple. I set my mandolin using a julienne blade. If the apple juliennes are too long I cut them in half. I try to have the carrots and apple pieces about the same size. I also like to have about the same amount of carrots and apples visually. I always start with the carrots and then add the apples. Often, I end up with half or a quarter of an apple left over. That is the cook’s treat.

For tangy dressing increase the amount of vinegar. For sweeter dressing, cut back on the vinegar.
