In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded carrots, raisins, and pineapple chunks.
Step 3
In a separate smaller bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt (if using), orange juice, honey, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Pour the dressing over the carrot mixture, gently tossing to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Cover the salad with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
