Fresh, crisp, and a quiet little victory in the family kitchen. A simple raw salad that adds some vitamins and fibre to children's favourite combo of potatoes and sausages.

Crisp carrots, sweet apple, and a little dash of love. It’s juicy, it’s colourful, and it actually gets eaten. A few years ago, Uku-Robin came face-to-face with a new guest on his plate: carrot salad. He took one look and flat-out refused. But since he’s always liked raw carrots, I decided to run a little experiment.
We took two carrots—one I cut into sticks, the other he grated himself. Then came the blind taste test. Stick first. Then the grated version. A long pause. A curious look. And then a very grown-up realisation: “They taste the same!”
And just like that, friendship with carrot salad was born.
Sometimes, it’s the smallest kitchen moments that make the biggest shifts. And sometimes, all it takes is a grater, a little curiosity, and a spoonful of apple to make veggies a whole lot more loveable.
