Carrot Raisin Salad With Pineapple

This carrot salad is the perfect blend of crunchy, sweet, and tangy. The shredded carrots give you the crunch with the pineapple and raisins giving you the sweet. The dressing is a blend of sour cream, miracle whip  (or mayo) a touch of sugar, and a little lemon juice. The combination gives ita great tangy-sweet flavor. This salad was such a hit I even got my grandkids to try it.  If you have 5 yr olds around your house, you know that's quite an accomplishment.

If you are looking for other side dishes or salads, try our Creamy Coleslaw with Bacon, Pea Salad With Ham or Strawberry Fluff Salad all are great delicious easy to make choices. I don't think I ever had carrot raisin salad until I tried it at chick-fil-a. I would have never thought to make it. However, after trying it there I was pleasantly surprised. This recipe isn't exact but pretty close to theirs.
