Shredded Carrot Raisin & Pineapple Salad
Shredded carrots, juicy pineapple & sweet plump raisins all tossed in a simple creamy greek yogurt dressing! This delicious carrot raisin & pineapple salad is the perfect make-ahead side dish to cool down during spring & summer!
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups shredded carrots
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks, sliced (canned pineapple can be used instead)*
- ½ cup raisins (regular or golden)
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Whisk your greek yogurt, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar and maple syrup together in a bowl until well combined then set it aside.
- Next add your shredded carrots, sliced pineapple and raisins to a large bowl. Pour your desired amount of dressing over the top and toss the salad until it's evenly coated.
- Cover your salad and let it chill in the fridge for 30 minutes - 1 hour before serving. (The longer your salad sits, the more flavorful it will become. I'd suggest giving it a good stir right before serving as some of the juices might fall to the bottom of the bowl.)
Notes
*If using canned pineapple chunks, drain them completely before slicing and adding them to your salad.
(The easiest ways to shred your carrots are to use a cheese grater or a food processor with the "shredding" blade attachment.)
If you prefer more dressing on your salad, I'd suggest adding another ½ recipe of the dressing ingredients. Here are the measurements below:
- 2 Tbsp plain Greek yogurt
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
