My carrot salad has a coconut-based touch to it. As much as my friends and fiance do, I hope you appreciate it.

Wouldn’t change a thing! YUM!
Made it exactly as written the first time, and it was delicious! Will definitely make it again, and again! Thanks for posting it!
An excellent alternative cabbage salad. I will make it again for sure.
Delicious, crunchy, sweet , & refreshing slaw type salad. My family liked it too. I grated 1 apple in mine since I didn’t have enough shredded carrots. It was very good.
Made exactly as described. Easy to make and very addictive!
Awesome recipe.
Great recipe…..much better than the regular carrot raisin salad. Then again anything with coconut in it, is always great!!
I added 1 sm. can crushed pineapple and a handful of mini marshmallows and this was great!!!
Excellent! I made this as a side dish for Thanksgiving dinner and everyone loved it! We enjoy mixing it up a little bit. Thanks for the recipe! I will make this again. 🙂
Easy to make & delicious is a good combination. The shredded coconut makes a superb addition. I used what I had & substituted it w/peanuts (walnuts), dried cranberries (raisins) & left out the sour cream. I’m sure the exact recipe is even better.
This was SO yummy! The combination of flavors and textures is fantastic. The clever addition of shredded coconut, celery, and nuts is different, but oh-so-good! Definitely puts ‘traditional’ Carrot Raisin Salad to shame. Thank you for a great recipe that was a hit with the whole family AND with company. Will make again!
This was a nice change of pace from our usual salads. This was very tasty and I’m glad I used less mayonnaise than the recipe requested. We enjoyed it very much.
YUM. My boyfriend and his son are definitely “meat and potatoes” types. So it’s satisfying to see them gobble up veggies! I did not have raisins, so I used dried cranberries. Cut the mayo in half and added the zest and juice of half a lemon. Next time I think I will plump the cranberries in the lemon juice and /or vinegar in the microwave for a few seconds.
Best Carrot salad ever!!!!!!!!
So good! I did use an extra carrot and a little less mayo. The coconut is a nice addition. Thanks for the recipe!
Everyone enjoyed….different and yummy. Used fat free plain yogurt, low fat made w/ olive oil mayo, and reduced fat for cream for the dressing. I liked the coconut and raisins in this and the crunch of the walnuts. Will make again. Thanks !
This recipe is fabulous! I used Greek yogurt in place of the sour cream. I can’t wait for the next pot-luck so I can bring this salad.
This is super wonderful!!!! I will make it again and again.
Just what I was looking for….thank you for the recipe!
Delicious!!!! I didn’t have sour cream – I used 1/3 cup low fat mayo – and left out the celery too. Wonderful! Absolutely Perfect!
