🥕 Classic Carrot Raisin Salad


If you're looking for a quick and easy, no-heat side dish, this Classic Carrot Raisin Salad is just the thing! You can use pineapple in this recipe, or omit it, and I'm also including 3 different options to make this recipe without mayo!

Growing up, I always loved carrot raisin salad, but my grandmother said it was full of sugar! And maybe it was back in the 80's (oof, that hurts to say), but this version packs all the same flavors with only a tiny amount of natural sweetener! It's the perfect side dish for any occasion!
