Method

1
Grate the carrots and the apples into a large bowl. Use the coarse side of the grater.
2
Add the lemon juice straight away and toss. It stops the apple going brown.
3
Stir in the oil, salt and pepper and mix well.
4
Leave for 10 minutes so the carrot softens slightly and takes on the lemon.
