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.

This colorful traditional salad is one of my mother-in-law's favorites. It's fun to eat because of its crunchy texture, and the raisins give it a slightly sweet flavor. Plus, the dish is easy to prepare. -Denise Baumert, Dalhart, Texas

Throw this together in a flash. The walnuts add a nice crunch. To make it even easier, buy a package of carrots already shredded at your grocers. Makes a great side dish.

I bought a small container of this salad from a health food store (Foods for Living) and really liked it. It had the ingredients listed on the label so I made up a batch guessing at the amount of each ingredient. It came out good. I hope you like it.

A basic and simple recipe for carrot salad. The pineapple is optional. It tastes great as is but you can always add shredded coconut as well.
