Carrot Raisin Salad
What a great summertime side dish (or anytime of the year!) So fresh, healthy and delicious and effortlessly put together to enjoy. This Carrot Raisin Salad is my “copycat” version of Chik-fi-la’s. I was so sad to see their Carrot Raisin Salad removed from the menu, years ago, replaced by Kale?!? How dare they!! The Carrot Raisin Salad was my favorite healthy side to get when I ordered their grilled chicken sandwich.
Oh well, I was forced to create an alternative and as it turned out, it was really a blessing in disguise. I could create a dairy-free version for a fraction of the cost and in my opinion, taste better…..gasp…no I didn’t! 😉 Well, I’ll let you be the judge.
Let’s begin!
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 4 cups carrots, peeled and grated
- 1 cup pineapple tidbits in 100% juice (or use fresh pineapple)
- 2 tbsp reserved pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup raisins (or two small 1 oz boxes)
- 1/2 cup hot water
- 1/2 cup SO Delicious Vanilla yogurt alternative made with coconut milk
Note: If substituting with regular yogurt, choose a coconut-flavored variety for an extra tropical note.
Instructions:
Start by soaking the raisins in the hot water for 5-10 minutes. Meanwhile, peel and grate your carrots into a large bowl.
Next, drain the raisins and add to your grated carrots, along with the pineapple and yogurt alternative.Mix until evenly combined, then cover and refrigerate for at least one hour to enhance the flavors together. Serve cold.
