Old-Fashioned Carrot Salad

Wow! I have been looking for a good recipe for what I call "Carrot Raisin Salad" and have come up empty after trying many. Then I saw Ina Garten make this on "Barefoot Contessa", and it is fantastic! It is not in any of her cookbooks, so here is the recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 2  bunches  topped carrots
• 1  cup mayonnaise (GOOD mayonnaise)
• 1⁄2  golden pineapple, peeled and chopped
• 1⁄2 cup raisins
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Directions

1. Peel the carrots and grate them in a food processor fitted with the large grating attachment-- Lay the carrots on their sides in the feed tube so you will have nice long grated strands.
2. Place the grated carrots in a large bowl and add the mayonnaise, pineapple, raisins, salt and pepper.
3. Toss well and season to taste.
4. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
5. Enjoy!
