Shredded Carrot Salad – A Twist On The Traditional

This Shredded Carrot Salad recipe is a fresh twist on the traditional Carrot and Raisin Salad. This super simple salad can be mixed up to make several different variations. Use raisins or dried cranberries; pineapple or apples; sour cream, yogurt, or mayonnaise. Combine it with shredded carrots and pecans for a delicious side salad.

It’s amazing when you use fresh organic produce you don’t need any additional sweetener. I know the dried cranberries have some added sugar, but this salad was perfectly sweet without adding any extra sugar as many recipes call for to compensate for the flavorless carrots.
