Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups freshly grated carrots
  • 20 oz pineapple chunks drained
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup hot water to plump the raisins
  • 3/4 cup mayo
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Begin by soaking the raisins in hot water in a small bowl, allowing them to soften while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
  • Thoroughly clean and peel the carrots, then grate them using your preferred method, whether by hand or via a food processor.
  • In a separate small bowl, combine mayo, honey, apple cider vinegar, and salt, whisking well to create the dressing.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix together the grated carrots, softened raisins (drained), and drained pineapple chunks.
  • Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad mixture and toss everything until well coated.
  • Cover the salad and place it in the fridge for at least 3-4 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
  • Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Enjoy your carrot salad!
