A refreshing twist on the classic carrot salad, featuring tropical flavors and a creamy dressing.
Grate the fresh carrots using a grater.
Using a large-hole grater will give you the perfect texture for the salad.
Combine the grated carrots, crushed pineapple, and golden raisins in a large mixing bowl.
Ensure the pineapple is well-drained to avoid a watery salad.
In a small bowl, mix the light mayonnaise, powdered sugar, and fresh lemon juice until smooth.
Whisk the dressing thoroughly to ensure the sugar dissolves completely.
Pour the dressing over the carrot mixture and toss gently to coat evenly.
Toss lightly to avoid breaking the raisins.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve the salad chilled as a refreshing side dish.
Garnish with a sprig of mint for an elegant presentation.
