Carrot Craisins Salad

Carrot Craisins Salad

Carrots and Craisins go together as well as the traditional carrots and raisins in this creamy side salad. If you look at the picture, you may think that there is a lot of mayo in this salad. Actually there is only a tablespoon of mayo. The thick, creamy texture comes from Greek yogurt.
I used a bag of shredded carrots to make this salad. What a time saver!
This is a very simple recipe that you can increase as needed.
A dash of celery flakes and a drizzle of honey round out the flavors.
You can mix a few raisins in too. I think golden raisins would look lovely in this salad!
