Carrot, Apple & Walnut Salad

Mmmm this is a really lovely salad, goes well at a BBQ with coleslaw, potato salads etc but also if you live here in Bulgaria its a good winter salad to go with the Rakia.
Make this one day in advance, so that the flavours have a chance to meld.

4 x Carrots
1 Apple
1 tbsp Lemon juice
2 tbsp Honey
Walnuts chopped to your liking
Mayonnaise to your liking
Salt & pepper
Peel & shread the carrots & apple then mix all ingredients in a bowl, cover & refrigerate over night.
I like lots of walnuts & mayonnaise. I leave these quantities to you but add little at a time so you can check your preference

Potato Salad, Low Fat, With Mayonnaise

I love potato salad especially in the summer, but a table laid with cold meats & chicken drumsticks at any time of year, just isn't complete without it! There are a few variations you can do with the flavourings too, so all people can be satisfied. You can swap low fat Mayo & use the full fat kind if you are not watching your intake.
I am making this a lot at the moment as we are using potatoes we & friends are growing on our properties here in Bulgaria, nothing quite like freshly dug potatoes.

New Potatoes boiled in their skins ( you can off course peel them)
Low fat mayonnaise
2 tbsp Cider vinegar
1/2 - 1 tsp liquid sweetener or tsp2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp English Mustard powder, OR Curry powder, OR leave out for Natural flavour
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Garlic powder
1/2 tsp Pepper
Paprika
Minced onion (I leave this out)

Mix vinegar, sweetener, garlic powder, flavouring of choice, pepper, paprika & salt together. Once combined add onion if using & then add mayo, to your taste & stir well. Add to the potatoes coating well. You can thin with a little milk if it seems too thick for your taste.
Cover & refrigerate overnight to give the flavours time to combine.

Another variation is add 5 hard boiled, chopped eggs to the mixture. This is really nice & very tasty
