Quick Carrot Raisin Salad
This traditional salad is fun to eat because of its crunchy texture and the slightly sweet raisin flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 cups shredded carrots (about 4 to 5 large)
- 3/4 to 1-1/2 cups raisins
- 1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 to 3 tablespoons fat-free milk

quick and easy. I was looking for a recipe I could convert for my daughters very restricted diet. I used cane sugar, organic mayo, and almond milk-and really happy with the results
Very yummy, quick and easy. Even better after adding a tablespoon of peanut butter to the dressing!Or you could add salted peanuts or sunflower seeds.
Wow - great easy recipe. No leftovers :)I used Duke's mayo ( our fave brand in SC!!) and 1/2 n 1/2 instead of milk. Crushed pineapple added is great too. Definitely will be one of my tried and trues!
So easy to make. I swap craisins for raisins. I try to make it 1 to 4 hrs before serving so it can marinate in the fridge (raisins / craisins absorb some liquids and get plumper - yum!) but it's good to just make it and go. It's my favorite dish to bring to a pot-luck dinner (and I never bring home leftovers).
I made this for my sister (who failed to tell me she hated carrot salad!) and she loved it!
