Ingredients
- 4 cups carrot peeled and shredded with a box grater
- 1 cup raisins
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup walnuts chopped
- parsley chopped, for garnish, fresh
Instructions
- If you prefer softer raisins, you can soak them in hot water for about 10 minutes, then drain.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, honey, lemon juice, salt until well combined and smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded carrots and raisins. Pour the dressing over the carrot and raisin mixture and toss until everything is well coated.
- If using nuts, stir them in to add a pleasant crunch and nutty flavor.
- I recommend to cover the salad and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve chilled.
Notes
- For a sweeter taste, soak the raisins in orange juice instead of water.
- If you prefer a less creamy salad, reduce the mayonnaise and add a splash of olive oil to the dressing.
- This salad is customizable; try adding diced apples or celery for extra crunch and flavor.
- Make sure to chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.
