Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized (about 2 cups shredded) carrots
- 0.5 cup raisins
- 0.5 cup pineapple chunks (canned, in juice)
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor. You should have approximately 2 cups of shredded carrots.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded carrots and raisins.
Drain the canned pineapple chunks and add them to the bowl. If the chunks are particularly large, chop into smaller, bite-sized pieces.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the carrot mixture and gently toss until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled.
