Shredded Carrot Salad with Raisins

This salad is one that I enjoyed at my Mother's table, as a child.  It appeals to me visually and satisfies my need for something crunchy and sweet.  It is also full of vitamins.

I am sure that my Mother would have have prepared it with regular mayonnaise and white sugar.... my version is much lighter but just as tasty!



Shredded Carrot Salad with Raisins
Makes 4 generous servings
  • 3 medium carrots, washed, peeled and grated
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup fat free Miracle Whip or other mayo 
  • 1 packet Splenda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Dash of black pepper
  1. Put grated carrots in a large bowl and toss with remaining ingredients.
  2. Chill thoroughly before serving.
Per serving.

    I haven't thought about this salad in a long time. I should try it again.

    I was craving this salad and voila a recipe appeared!

    I substituted half of the fat free mayo for fat free greek yogurt and added some chopped walnuts for added crunch.

    Yum
