I saw these Rosetta apples at the market and couldn’t resist. They are the most beautiful apples I have ever seen and their sweet-tart flavor makes them extra appealing.
I would love to try baking with them but, for now, I wanted to enjoy them in “pure” form, shaved with sweet yellow carrots and a tangy yogurt and honey dressing.
Tips: Of course, you can substitute any kind of apple or carrot that you like – just remember to have both be crisp, yet contrasting in terms of sweetness and tartness.
Yellow carrot and pink apple slaw
You’ll need:
- 1 rosetta apple
- 3 yellow carrots
- 2 heaping t greek yogurt
- 2 t mirin (Japanese seasoning/condiment, similar to rice wine or vinegar)
- 1/3 t honey
- fleur de sel salt
1. Slice or shave the apples and carrots thinly. {The skin of the rosettas is fairly thin and the carrots were young ones, but depending on the variety that you end up using, peel them, if need be.} Toss together in a bowl.
2. Whisk together greek yogurt, mirin, and honey.
3. Season the apples and carrots lightly with salt. Dress the slaw with the yogurt dressing and refrigerate for 30-40 minutes before serving.
So pretty! I love the colors.
Thank you!
That looks as tasty as candy. No, better than candy!
Agreed!
What an amazing apple! I’ve never heard of a rosetta, but now I’m convinced that I need to find one. Gorgeous rosy flesh… you used them perfectly in this simple, crispy salad. Yum!
I had never heard of it either, Laura! It’s pretty amazing though!
I’m yet to see such a delicious variety of apples as these! The Rosetta might be a northern hemisphere thing, the only thing that comes close (to my mind) is that light green tinge of a beautiful Granny Smith. No doubt these apples are a beautiful pairing with your carrots and that mirin dressing.
It’s the first time I came across it over here, Alice. It may be just a North American thing even…
That is a new apple but I would love to try it 😀

Thanks, Uru!
It’s been too long since my last visit! This slaw looks delicious and what a beautiful way to prepare end of summer produce. Hope you’re having a fun summer Ksenia!
Welcome back, Karista! Hope all is well with your move! Can’t believe that summer is already winding down…
Very pretty! Would love to get my hands on this apple! 🙂
Thanks so much, Riddhi!
Oh my god I love how you use such fascinating ingredients in your salads!
First time I see a pink apple! Is it really sweet by any chance?
Thank you, Fati! They are sweet-tart, and I would say more tart than sweet..
