Ingredients

Servings
  • 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

  1. If you prefer softer raisins, you can soak them in hot water for about 10 minutes, then drain.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, honey, lemon juice, salt until well combined and smooth.
  3. 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.
  4. If using nuts, stir them in to add a pleasant crunch and nutty flavor.
  5. I recommend to cover the salad and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving.
  6. 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.
