    Make the dill oil by putting 2 oz of extra virgin olive oil and 1 oz of fresh dill in to a blender. A small pinch of salt helps bring out the character of dill.

    In to a mixing bowl put your apple and carrot shreds. Make sure to strain them well and pat them down with a dry towel to remove all the excess water. Incorporate the rest of the ingredients but only use 1 oz of dill oil. Gently toss it in the bowl and serve. Preferably on a white plate place the salad in the middle of your plate and garnish with the rest of the dill oil around the salad and some sunflower seed kernels on the top of the salad.
