Ingredients
- 4 cups shredded/grated organic carrots
- 8 oz can of crushed pineapple and juice (no sugar added)
- 3/4 cup organic raisins
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- Juice from 1/2 lemon (about 1 1/2 Tbsp)
- 1 Tbsp virgin coconut oil (optional)
Instructions
Thoroughly mix all ingredients together in a medium bowl. Refrigerate for one hour before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
The amount of mayonnaise is a personal choice. The original recipe calls for 1/2 cup of mayo. I suggest you start with 1/3 and add a little more if you prefer. If you can’t eat eggs or don’t have access to good quality mayo, you could get closer to a Ray Peat type carrot salad by subbing some coconut oil and a little apple cider vinegar in place of the mayo.
If your raisins are not already plump, before adding them you can pour some boiling/hot water over them in a separate small bowl and let them steep a few minutes until plump.
