Sweet Carrot Salad

Topped it with crispy bacon and added a splash of apple cider vinegar with the lemon juice and mayonnaise

great recipe. I cook for elderly clients and they love this salad. just be sure if you store carrots in water ahead if time that you dry carrots completely before putting this salad together. Thanks!

This was very nice, but it did not bowl us over. I added a few shakes of much needed salt to counteract the sweetness. A good side dish for a hot summer night. Served with ham and potato salad.

love this salad! nice variation from the usual mayo dressing. multiplies nicely for a crowd.

I love Carrot salad and this one was very good never made it before with honey

Today I used Plain Greek Yogurt instead of Mayo and Honey Wine Vinegar instead of Honey – slightly lighter and a lot less sweet

We were split on this right down the middle – we either loved it or hated it. I followed the recipe exactly except I did add a bit of salt. It is super sweet. I will not make again unless it is requested. Thanks for the old fashioned recipe. It did remind me of my grandmother’s carrot salad.

Fantastic! I could live on this salad! It is delicious freshly-made, but if you can stand to wait, it is absolutely scrumptious 12 hours later! I did drain the pineapple and I used a very fine grate on the carrots, and because I’m not a fan of honey I used plain white sugar instead and it was perfect…this may be my new favorite food!

This was very good I made this with some bbq and was gone in no time at all. Only changes I made was I didn’t have raisins. I love the crunch even after letting it sit over night. UPDATE- I have made this several times and everyone has liked it each time. First I want to say to those who say they didn’t like the raisins bloated we have added them right before serving to keep that from happening. Secondly we prefer the golden raisins instead. Lastly we like to add either a bit of jalapeno juice or diced one up to kick up the flavor. I also save some time by using the pre shredded carrots or use greek yogurt instead of mayo.

Not something I will make again, but it was okay. Added crushed walnuts, which made it better.

I really liked this a lot. I added about 1 more Tblsp mayo, otherwise made as listed. Bonus: Parrot couldn’t get enough of it! She’s picky & changes her “favorites” often, so I’m happy she’s back on carrots. I will be making it often. Thanks, Doug!

Great classic (think Chik-fil-a) carrot raisin salad taste! I add a half cup of sweetened coconut and a tablespoon of champagne vinegar, but would still rate this a 5 if I made it as written. Sweet, flavorful, crunchy, healthy addition to a potluck, picnic or as a side dish for grilled meat. Drain the pineapple well, because this salad will have enough moisture without it.

I made this recipe for Thanksgiving. I made sure I made it the day before to really get the flavor in the carrots. Very tasty!

One of my husband favorite salads. Serve it for thanksgiving dinner was a big hit.

In the past year, I’m happy to say I’ve gotten past my aversion to carrots, and as long as I stick to the organic ones which just taste sweeter to me, I like them quite a bit. I loved this. I did, of course, tweak a bit for my taste and used greek yogurt instead of mayo (not a mayo fan), and I also tossed in some diced crystallized ginger. And I had fresh pineapple I needed to use and just chopped it finely. Th end result is delicious, and it just gets better as it sits!

Made as listed – just didn’t do it for me – not enough flavor.

I made this the evening before and found that although the recipe needs to sit for the flavours to blend, overnight was too long. It seemed to get a little too soggy. Otherwise it was ok but got mixed reviews from my dinner guests.

Good enough for company. Pineapple was good but not essential and I’ve omitted it on occasion. Since I don’t like bloated raisins, I like to add them just before serving.

way way way too sweet for our taste…would omit the honey and pineapple and add more lemon juice. Carrots and raisins are sweet enough on their own.

This salad is delicious and pretty good nutritionally to boot! I made a double batch for a potluck at work and while there were skeptics who wouldn’t try it, the ones who did came back for seconds. I’m not a fan of raisins, but I put them in because I know others like them. I just picked mine out. I’ll make this again, but hopefully will have food processor next time with a grating feature. Grating 2 pounds of carrots – whew, hard work.

Awesome, I made it exactly as directed. It was a little too “juicy” though. Next time, I’m going to drain the pineapple.
