This colorful traditional salad is one of my mother-in-law's favorites. It's fun to eat because of its crunchy texture, and the raisins give a slightly sweet flavor. Plus, it's easy to prepare. —Denise Baumert, Dalhart, Texas

Such a fresh good salad! Great way to eat raw carrots. I took a previous reviewers advice and added 1/2 Tbsp peanut butter with the mayo, and I used half Miracle Whip half mayo. The peanut butter added such a subtle interesting flavour to it all and you don't need as much sugar!

I have made this salad for a long time but I use golden raisins and well drained crushed pineapple. Delish
