Summer Salad Recipes: How to Make Carrot Salad

Ingredients

• 1 bunch carrots
• 1 large box raisins
• 1 or 2 dollops mayonnaise
• 1 or 2 teaspoons sugar

Instructions

Rinse and drain the bunch carrots. We use the whole bunch while making carrot and raisin salad here at home since everyone loves it.
Peel the carrots and cut off both end pieces. You can then grate the carrots or you can place them in a salad shooter or other food processor to grate the carrots into a medium to large size serving bowl. Set aside until needed.

Next, you will add the raisins in with the grated carrots. When we make a large salad we might add the whole large box of raisins. You should add them according to your own preferences. If you like a lot, add a lot, if you like a little add a little. Stir or toss the carrots and raisins together.

Add 1 or 2 dollops mayonnaise. You want to add just enough to hold and bind the carrots and raisins together. Next you will stir in the 1 or 2 teaspoons sugar. Again, you can add a bit more or not even add the sugar if you prefer. We prefer mayonnaise; however, you can also make this summer salad while using whipped salad dressing if you prefer to do so.

Mix all ingredients well. Cover with lid or clear plastic food wrap. Place in the refrigerator over night or for at least 4 to 5 hours. The longer you leave it the more the raisins will plump back up.

There you go a simple and easy to make summer salad recipe that only uses just a few ingredients and only takes a few minutes to prepare. However, since carrots and raisins are readily available throughout the year, you can make this delicious summer salad recipe idea even with snow on the ground.
