Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Carrots
- 1 cup Pineapple chunks
- 1 quarter cup Raisins
- 2 tablespoons Orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment. Transfer the grated carrots to a large mixing bowl.
If using fresh pineapple, cut it into small chunks. If using canned pineapple, drain the chunks well. Add the pineapple chunks to the bowl with the grated carrots.
Add the raisins to the bowl for a touch of natural sweetness.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Pour the dressing over the carrot, pineapple, and raisin mixture. Toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated with the dressing.
If desired, sprinkle chopped parsley over the salad for added freshness and a pop of color.
Serve the salad immediately, or refrigerate it for 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Enjoy!
