Pineapple Carrot Salad

I liked this very much and will keep it as a regular recipe, although next time I will omit the sugar, it really wasn’t necessary.

Delicious! I’m so glad to make this w/o mayo. I used only 1 T. sugar. Thanks, Meredith

I liked the simplicity of the recipe, however I used the pineapple juice with mayo rather than adding sugar. I added 3 tablespoons of juice to the mayo. I also added 1 tablespoon of grated ginger to give it a little bit of ‘tang’ and 1/3 of a cup of unsalted roasted pumpkin seeds for texture. This recipe lends itself to additions to suit your taste.

I didn’t add sugar. Instead I added 1 tsp of stevia. And adden 1 tsp of insulin (available at health food store). And dash some ground cinnamon in and stir it.Toppled it with chopped walnuts.

very good. goes with pork or chicken. nice cool side dish

used fresh pineapple, plain greek yougert, and 3 packets truvia instead of sugar. delicious! Great recipie! Thanks!

Runny and took way too long to cut the carrots into slivers.

I made it! Since my other dish was picadillo, which has raisins also, I cut up a Red Delicious apple and added that instead. I wound up using banana creme yogurt since I could not find either pineapple nor vanilla yogurt – go figure. I also julienned the carrots in my food processor. The salad was well-received.

This was super easy and great. I couldn’t find Pineapple yogurt, so I used Piña Colada yogurt instead. I also omitted the salt and sugar because I thought it was unnecessary. I also didn’t soak the raisins. I just let them soak in the salad as it cooled, and it worked just fine. I’ll make it again and again.

Great recipe, except I changed a few ingredients. Sour cream for the yogurt. And instead of salt a tablespoon of mayo is just the trick. And unless you are going to eat it right away you dont need to soak the raisins they will plump overnight or even in a few hours in the mixture.

i use mayo instead of yogurt…don’t add sugar or salt. my family loves this with a chicken casserole.

This was really good and much better than expected. Used freshly dug up baby carrots. The only modification I did was to soak the raisins in the pineapple juice. Served with “Cheddar Bacon Hamburgers,” “Old Fashioned Onion Rings,” “Belles Hamburger Buns,” and “Mom’s Coleslaw.”

This is a nice way to get kids to eat their fruit and veggies! I replaced the yogurt/salt with about 1/2 cup mayo slightly thinned out with about 1-2 Tablespoons pineapple juice. This recipe is a hit as written with my family. But to add a twist to it, this last time I made it, I added a medium Red Delicious apple that needed a recipe to be used in, and before serving, I topped with a few English Walnut halves. The first time I made this, the weird looks the family gave it, was too funny. But they changed to happy faces after the first bite. A key factor is to make the night before, or early in the morning, so it can get chilled and flavors meld together.

This is really yummy. I used vanilla yogurt. I did add the sugar as the recipe calls for, because I tasted it without and didn’t think it was sweet enough (which could’ve been because I used low fat yogurt). I also added a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Tastes just like Chick-Fil-A, which was what I was looking for. Thank you!

This is as good a carrot salad recipe as you could want. I increased the proportion of carrot to pineapple and added the dressing slowly to keep it from being to heavy. Also, I julienned the carrots because I prefer that to the texture of grated carrots.

I was about to post a recipe very similar to this that I got from my mother but I found this one instead. I did try this one and honestly did NOT like it. I can’t imagine why anyone would want to eat such a sweet salad. My recipe includes lettuce, mayo, yogurt, apple chunks and almonds and does not include sugar. My family ADORES this salad this way. It’s quite similar to the one they have at Chick-fil-A as one reviewer mentioned.

I make this durning the holidays and summer time and my family loves it and ask for it all the time, very easy to makeand I do and Apple to mine, peeled and sprinkled with lemon juice.

I substituted coconut yogurt for the pineapple yogurt, added some chopped pecans and eliminated the sugar altogether but added a few dashes of cinnamon and it was a hit! I had even enlarged the recipe to feed 10 for Thanksgiving and there wasn’t any left. I like this soooooo much better than the mayonnaise based dressings.

I made a huge batch of this carrot salad for a luncheon at my school. I substituted pina colada yogurt for the pinapple yogurt (a little extra zing!)and omitted the sugar and salt (it was plenty sweet with the yogurt & pinapple). It was awesome…the teachers loved it!

Great! This recipe is flexible, according to what you have on hand. I didn’t bother with soaking the raisins. I used 4 cups grated carrots (chopped in food processor to save time), 1 cup pineapple tidbits, and Yoplait vanilla yogurt instead of pineapple yogurt. I didn’t need to add sugar or salt. Thanks for the wonderful, lowfat recipe!
