Frequently asked questions

Can I use a different type of raisin if I don’t have Natco Golden Raisins?
Yes, you can substitute Natco Golden Raisins with other types of raisins like Thompson or sultanas. However, golden raisins have a milder sweetness and a slightly tangy flavor that balances the dish well, so the overall taste might vary slightly with substitutions.
What’s the best way to cut the carrot into thin sticks for this recipe?
To achieve thin carrot sticks, first cut the carrot into manageable sections about 2-3 inches long. Then, slice each section lengthwise into thin planks before stacking and cutting them into matchstick-sized strips. This ensures even cutting and a pleasant texture in the salad.
How can I prevent the apple cubes from browning before serving?
To prevent the diced apple from browning, you can toss the cubes in a small amount of lemon juice immediately after cutting. The acidity in the lemon juice slows down oxidation, keeping the apple pieces looking fresh and appealing.
Can I prepare this salad in advance for meal prep?
This salad is best served fresh to maintain the crisp texture of the carrots and apples. However, you can pre-cut the carrots and apples and store them separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to a day. Add the yogurt and raisins just before serving to keep the salad from becoming soggy.
