CHICK-FIL-A CARROT RAISIN SALAD RECIPE - (3.9/5)



Chick-Fil-A Carrot Raisin Salad Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 8

Optional add-in at serving:
1 pound whole carrots, grated or finely shredded (4 cups)
1/3 cup dark raisins, loosely packed
1 can (20-ounce) crushed pineapple in juice
4 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 to 3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Chill everything except the sugar for at least an hour before making the salad. Drain the pineapple in a colander; press down on it, squeezing all the juice out. (It needs to be very dry or the salad will be runny. After draining it well, I pour it out on paper towels and give it a squeeze.) Place pineapple in a bowl; stir in the sugar and lemon juice. Stir in 1/2 cup mayo (can add more later if needed). Refrigerate until needed. Grate/shred the carrots into a large bowl; stir in the raisins. Stir in the pineapple dressing, blending well. Refrigerate until serving time then add the pecans, if using, and a bit more mayo if needed for consistency.
