Classic Carrot Raisin Salad is a traditional dish in the south. An easy to prepare side dish that can be made ahead of time. Cool and perfect on warm days.
This simple tried and true salad is a favorite at potluck gatherings. The sweetness of the carrots, raisins and pineapple compliment the tangy mayonnaise dressing.
It is as simple as keeping this delicious carrot salad refrigerated until ready to serve. I do like to give it a stir just before serving as the dressing will settle to the bottom of the dish.

Was always shredding my carrots so avoid making this because too much trouble - didn't occur to me to buy shredded ones! This is SO good.

Linda, Ha Ha, yes and it doesn't make the salad so watered down to buy the pre-shredded. I hope you get to enjoy some soon!

I have loved this salad since I was a little girl, when my grandmother would make it for me. I had lost her recipe and couldn't find one that I liked. I will be making this one ASAP, as it looks to be almost identical to hers! Thanks so much for sharing it today!

I swear I'd bet u were raised in my home right beside me. My dad's family were from Tennessee.. Maybe mom got a lot of the recipes from her mother n law.
