Refreshing for the summer months, this Polish Carrot and Apple Salad recipe is a perfect side dish for pierogi.  It is also bright and colorful so it great to bring to parties, and the added raisins give it a nice natural sweetness.  Use small crisp carrots that are not dry and find apples that are crunchy and juicy--Fuji apples work well.  We triple this recipe and enjoy throughout the week as a healthy snack.
