Old-Fashioned Carrot Salad image

Wow! I have been looking for a good recipe for what I call "Carrot Raisin Salad" and have come up empty after trying many. Then I saw Ina Garten make this on "Barefoot Contessa", and it is fantastic! It is not in any of her cookbooks, so here is the recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Time 15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 bunches topped carrots
1 cup mayonnaise (GOOD mayonnaise)
1/2 golden pineapple, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup raisins
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Peel the carrots and grate them in a food processor fitted with the large grating attachment-- Lay the carrots on their sides in the feed tube so you will have nice long grated strands.
  • Place the grated carrots in a large bowl and add the mayonnaise, pineapple, raisins, salt and pepper.
  • Toss well and season to taste.
  • Serve chilled or at room temperature.
  • Enjoy!

This carrot salad is a classic for a reason! It's simple to make, but the combination of sweet carrots, tangy vinegar, and crunchy celery and onion is irresistible.
