Carrot Raisin Salad Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I love to find salad dishes I can make for my family that aren’t your traditional salad recipes. Carrot Raisin Salad is delicious and my kids hardly notice the fruits and veggies in it, so it’s simple to get them to eat it! In fact, they eat it without complaining each time!

If you want another delicious side that’s loaded with veggies, try out this Skillet Mushroom Asparagus recipe!

What You Need

Carrot Raisin Salad

2 cups shredded carrots
1/2 cup raisins
1 large apple (I used a Fuji apple)
1/2 cup fresh pineapple, diced
1/3 cup purple seedless grapes, halved
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon lemon juice

How To Make Carrot Raisin Salad

Carrot Raisin Salad

Core, peel and dice the apple. Add the apple to a small mixing bowl and toss with lemon juice (this will keep the apple from browning).

In a large mixing bowl, add all of the ingredients and gently toss to coat.

Cover and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

Keep your Carrot Raisin Salad refrigerated and covered in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days. This is a great recipe to make ahead for family gatherings at your house, or even at a different location. This dish travels well and will stay cool in a cooler for even a few hours in the car.

I love to bring this Carrot Raisin Salad to potlucks! It’s always a hit and a great balance to the heavy sides and main dishes that are normally there. Plus, it’s so easy to make it takes minimal effort on my part to make an acceptable dish!

    This recipe is such a blast from the past for me. My mom made this a lot and I don’t think I have made it once. Thanks for the reminder and the recipe – YUM!

    Maybe my boys will eat more carrots if I make this. Looks so good to me.

    I’ve always been a big fan of carrot salad. I think the raisins make it. Love the different textures. Great recipe.

    I am totally not a fan of carrot salad – or at least have not been in the past but the inclusion of yogurt puts a different spin on it and I may have to try it. It is definitely colorful and inviting.

    I would never think to put these two things together, then I think about how much carrot cake I’ve eaten, which has raisins in it! Sounds good!

    I myself don’t like eating vegetables, which indeed affects my overall health negatively. But you’ve just suggested a nice and practical idea. Thanks much!
