This new take on carrot salad definitely isn’t what Grandma used to make.
Our Not Your Grandma’s Carrot Salad brings shredded carrots, apples, raisins and yogurt together for a creamy, cool side to any meal. Grandma may disapprove, but it’s a safe bet that she’ll like the taste!
“This is the basic formula for making a lower fat carrot salad by subbing mayo for yogurt. Get creative with additions like drained canned pineapple, chopped nuts or a teaspoon of mustard, lemon juice or vinegar,” said Katie Funderburk, Alabama Extension nutrition specialist, and registered dietitian.
Ingredients
- 6 carrots, shredded
- 2 apples, diced
- 1/3 cup raisins
- 6 ounces plain yogurt
Pro Tips
When stored in the fridge, carrots will last four to five weeks. It’s easy to tell carrots are going bad if they are shriveled up, mushy or soft. Slice the apples and dip them in 1 cup water and 1 tablespoon lemon juice mixture to keep them fresh for snack time later.
