Ingredients

  • 4 1/2 cups shredded carrots
  • 1 8-ounce can pineapple tidbits
  • 3/4 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 1/4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  • Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.

Recipe Tips

  • Pre-shredded bagged carrots tend to be thicker and drier than freshly shredded. If you use them, soak briefly in ice water and dry thoroughly to revive the crunch.
  • Dissolve the sugar into the lemon juice first, before adding the mayonnaise. Acid dissolves sugar faster than fat-heavy mayo does.
  • A teaspoon of grated orange zest in the dressing adds a subtle brightness that pairs well with the pineapple. Not traditional, but very good.
  • If the salad seems dry after an overnight chill (raisins absorb liquid as they sit), stir in another tablespoon of mayonnaise and a small squeeze of lemon juice.
