    Healthy Carrot Raisin Salad

    Carrot Raisin Salad | 2CookinMamas

    My Mom always made a delicious carrot raisin salad and I never knew until I got older how healthy she made it for us. Many pre-made salads add so much mayonnaise and sugar that it becomes a fatty addition to a meal when the ingredients themselves, carrots and raisins, are quite healthy. So what was Mom's secret? She used yogurt instead of salad dressing and cut back on a large amount of the sugar. And boy did we ever scarf it down whenever it was served. Hope you enjoy!

    Carrot Raisin Salad

    Ingredients:

    • 2 cups carrots, grated
    • ¾ cup raisins
    • 1 small can crushed pineapple with juice
    • ⅓ cup low-fat yogurt, plain or vanilla
    • 1 teaspoon sugar
    • ¾ teaspoon lemon juice

    Directions:

    Add all ingredients together, stir and chill in refrigerator at least 30 minutes.

    Serves 4.

    Note: Ingredient proportions can be adapted to your liking - less raisins, more pineapple, more yogurt, less sugar etc.
