Creamy Carrot Apple Salad with Dates

Peel the carrots, then shave them into thin ribbons with a vegetable peeler or grate them for a finer texture. Core the apple and cut it into small bite-size chunks. Add both to a large mixing bowl.

Season the carrots and apple with salt and black pepper. Add the apple cider vinegar and toss well so the apple is lightly coated and less likely to brown.

Drizzle in the sesame oil and honey, then add the black mustard seeds. Toss until the dressing is evenly distributed.
