CLASSIC CARROT SALAD



Classic Carrot Salad image

Maybe your family has made carrot salad forever, or maybe you've seen it at potlucks, but if you're not familiar with this Southern classic, your inner voice might be screaming, "Raisins don't belong in salad!" But relax: This just might be the only time they do. The soft, sweet raisins complement the crunchy carrots, which are finished with a tangy dressing. Soak the raisins in hot water to give them a different, more plump texture. If you aren't a fan of mayonnaise or yogurt, use 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice, and add some chopped fresh parsley. Let the crunchy-sweet flavors roll over your tastebuds as you realize you've made a simple, and delicious, dish in less than 15 minutes.

Categories     salads and dressings, vegetables, side dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 2 to 4 servings (about 4 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (8-ounce) can pineapple tidbits, drained (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup golden or brown raisins
1/4 cup mayonnaise or plain yogurt
1 tablespoon honey (optional)
1 tablespoon fresh orange zest, (optional)
6 medium carrots, peeled and grated (about 4 cups), or 1 (10-ounce) bag of carrot matchsticks

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, add pineapple, raisins, mayonnaise, honey and orange zest (if using). Mix until combined.
  • Add carrots to dressing and fold together all the ingredients using a rubber spatula or tongs.
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, then serve chilled.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the carrots for a more uniform and visually appealing salad.
  • If you don't have rice vinegar, you can substitute white vinegar or apple cider vinegar. However, rice vinegar has a milder flavor that better complements the carrots.
  • You can add other vegetables to the salad, such as shredded cabbage, bell peppers, or radishes, for added crunch and flavor.
  • For a sweeter salad, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the dressing.
  • If you want a spicier salad, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or chopped chili pepper to the dressing.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. The flavors will meld together and become even more delicious after a few hours in the refrigerator.

Conclusion:

This disappearing carrot salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its beautiful color and delicious flavor, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
