A colorful contrast to the rest of the meal! ANY meal!
Note to self: I think I’ll try substituting yogurt for the mayo.
Ingredients:
3 C shredded carrots
1/3 C raisins
8-oz can crushed pineapple, well drained
¼ C mayonnaise
1 tsp finely shredded orange zest
¼ C toasted pecans (optional)
In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded carrot & raisins; set aside. In a small mixing bowl, stir together crushed pineapple, mayo, & orange peel. Stir mayo mixture into carrot mixture. Cover & chill for 2-24 hours. Sprinkle with toasted pecans when serving if desired. May also garnish with pineapple slices if you'd like.
sounds yummy :)
ReplyDeleteYum! Was this on your Christmas dinner table?
ReplyDeleteJust dropping by to thank you for you participating in the God-Bumps & God-Incidences linky. This is the first day that I've been able to make my way around the community because of Christmas family gatherings, and then sickness in our house... :(
We're all better today. :)
I hope you had a fantastic Christmas.
I love carrots - what a great idea! I also like your idea of substituting mayo for yogurt, but I'm not a mayo fan lol.

This has got my wheels turning. I love to juice carrots and I am thinking I could use the carrots from the juice, and instead of the orange zest, I could use my orange essential oil. I am not sure if my thoughts will equate the taste of your recipe, but I might give it a try. Thanks for sharing and allowing me to get creative with your recipe. :) Sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteI have never added pineapple to mine and although I don't fix it often..I love it.
ReplyDeleteYum! :D
