Ingredients
- 4 medium Carrots
- 1 cup Pineapple chunks
- 1 quarter cup Raisins
- 2 tablespoons Orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment. Transfer the grated carrots to a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
If using fresh pineapple, cut it into small chunks. If using canned pineapple, drain the chunks well. Add the pineapple chunks to the bowl with the grated carrots.
Step 3
Add the raisins to the bowl for a touch of natural sweetness.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Step 5
Pour the dressing over the carrot, pineapple, and raisin mixture. Toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated with the dressing.
Step 6
If desired, sprinkle chopped parsley over the salad for added freshness and a pop of color.
Step 7
Serve the salad immediately, or refrigerate it for 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Enjoy!
