  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt or sour cream, honey or maple syrup, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour the dressing over the carrot and apple mixture, and toss gently to ensure everything is coated evenly.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. To maintain freshness, consider preparing the dressing separately and mixing just before serving.
