Best Carrot Delight Salad Moms Recipes
CLASSIC CARROT SALAD
Maybe your family has made carrot salad forever, or maybe you've seen it at potlucks, but if you're not familiar with this Southern classic, your inner voice might be screaming, "Raisins don't belong in salad!" But relax: This just might be the only time they do. The soft, sweet raisins complement the crunchy carrots, which are finished with a tangy dressing. Soak the raisins in hot water to give them a different, more plump texture. If you aren't a fan of mayonnaise or yogurt, use 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice, and add some chopped fresh parsley. Let the crunchy-sweet flavors roll over your tastebuds as you realize you've made a simple, and delicious, dish in less than 15 minutes.

CARROT DELIGHT SALAD, MOM'S
My mother in law loves carrot salad, but she is not a marshmallow fan. She wants to try this with putting in raisins instead of grapes, and well drained pineapple in place of the marshmallows. The basic principle is that you can make substitutions as desired, just like mom always used to do...
