This was very good. I added raisins just because it just seemed to *need* raisins. That's probably because every carrot salad I've had in the past has had raisins in it. I used plain yogurt; I'll also try it with vanilla next time just to kick up the sweetness a bit.

This was so good it was ubelievable. I couldn't find an individual cntainer of plain yogurt so I used vanilla flavoured yogurt and it worked very well. It was sweet and crunchy at the same time and I liked it that way.

This is a beautiful salad. I like mine a little sweeter so next time I plan to use vanilla yogurt instead of plain.
