Great classic (think Chik-fil-a) carrot raisin salad taste! I add a half cup of sweetened coconut and a tablespoon of champagne vinegar, but would still rate this a 5 if I made it as written. Sweet, flavorful, crunchy, healthy addition to a potluck, picnic or as a side dish for grilled meat. Drain the pineapple well, because this salad will have enough moisture without it.

I made this recipe for Thanksgiving. I made sure I made it the day before to really get the flavor in the carrots. Very tasty!

In the past year, I'm happy to say I've gotten past my aversion to carrots, and as long as I stick to the organic ones which just taste sweeter to me, I like them quite a bit. I loved this. I did, of course, tweak a bit for my taste and used greek yogurt instead of mayo (not a mayo fan), and I also tossed in some diced crystallized ginger. And I had fresh pineapple I needed to use and just chopped it finely. Th end result is delicious, and it just gets better as it sits!

Made as listed - just didn't do it for me - not enough flavor.

I made this the evening before and found that although the recipe needs to sit for the flavours to blend, overnight was too long. It seemed to get a little too soggy. Otherwise it was ok but got mixed reviews from my dinner guests.

Good enough for company. Pineapple was good but not essential and I've omitted it on occasion. Since I don't like bloated raisins, I like to add them just before serving.

way way way too sweet for our taste...would omit the honey and pineapple and add more lemon juice. Carrots and raisins are sweet enough on their own.

This salad is delicious and pretty good nutritionally to boot! I made a double batch for a potluck at work and while there were skeptics who wouldn't try it, the ones who did came back for seconds. I'm not a fan of raisins, but I put them in because I know others like them. I just picked mine out. I'll make this again, but hopefully will have food processor next time with a grating feature. Grating 2 pounds of carrots - whew, hard work.
