Ingredients
Scale
Gathering the ingredients for this salad is as easy as a trip to your local grocery store. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 4 cups grated carrots
- 1 cup canned pineapple chunks, drained
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
If you’re out of mayonnaise, Greek yogurt makes a fantastic substitute, adding a tangy twist while keeping the salad creamy.
Instructions
Creating this salad is as easy as pie—or in this case, salad. Follow these simple steps to bring a taste of the tropics to your table:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots, pineapple chunks, and raisins.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Pour the dressing over the carrot mixture and toss until well combined. Make sure every carrot and pineapple chunk is lovingly coated in that creamy dressing.
- If you’re feeling a bit nutty, sprinkle in the chopped walnuts for an added crunch.
- Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
This is a recipe I love to make with my kids, who enjoy stirring everything together while sneaking a pineapple chunk or two.
