Carrot and Raisin Salad with Horseradish Dressing

Hi everyone!
I absolutely adore Christmas and in Scandi-land we start already on Sunday with lighting the first candle in our advent stake (there are 4 counting down to Christmas).
I will post a picture on Instagram when it’s up and running if you’re wondering what it looks like.
Swedish Christmas dinner is very much a meat and fish fest, but I’m planning to sneak in a few vegan dishes between my mums meatballs and my dads sill salad, and I think this carrot, raisin and horseradish salad will look and taste great with it all!

Carrot and Raisin salad with Horseradish dressing

Dressing:

– 1/2 cup cashew nuts

– 1/2 cup water
