Carrot Raisin Salad

“IF YOU like carrots, here's a great recipe. It's easy to prepare and healthy. My mother made it every holiday, using either regular or golden raisins. This was one of the first recipes I tried on my husband when we were newlyweds. He was skeptical because he didn't like raisins, but now this is one of his favorite salads. -Marlene Reilly, Nescopeck, Pennsylvania”

A nice, basic recipe that I would make a few adjustments to. Next time I would cut the plain yogurt down to 1/4 cup, the mayo down to 1 tablespoon and make the cinnamon optional.

This is a winner. I doubled the quantity but otherwise followed it to the letter. My family loved it but they didn't know there was mayo in there. (Everyone hates mayo but me). Honestly, I think straight yogurt with no mayo may be the way to go on this one. People love this because it's a sweet salad and mayo adds a bit of an unwelcome tang. Definitely use a food processor to shred all those carrots and don't be shy with the raisins or the cinnamon.

I liked this recipe. I made a large bowl for my family and they ate every bite. I did add twice the honey listed in this recipe. I think the cinnamon adds a nice twist. I will keep this recipe and use it.

I liked this, DH didn't. He really disliked the cinnamon in this. I kinda did like the cinnamon. I didn't have yogurt, so I used sour cream instead. This is a decent recipe, even with the cinnamon. I'm glad I tried it, thanks Marlene.

Delicious, easy recipe! Healthy, too. Low fat yogurt and mayo works nicely. I'll be making this one of my summer salad staples.

Really good! I made this just as listed, substituting only lowfat mayo and yoghurt for the full fat kind. We really liked it. Nice and healthy, too! I think this is something kids might even eat!

This salad was so light and tasty at the same time. I followed the recipe exactly. A great summer side dish.

Delicious and simple! I used a little sugar instead of honey but used the suggested ratio of yogurt to mayo. I hesitated to add the cinnamon but it adds a subtle flavor that we liked and is definitely healthier.

Very good! I did increase the mayo quite a bit though. I probably used almost equal parts of mayo and yogurt. Really great salad :)
