I've never had this salad with pineapple in it. I thought it was very good. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I will definitely make this again. -
This was absolutely amazing! I mean, I'm talking WOW!!! Even my three year old was wolfing it down! Soooooooooo good! Will make again! Thanks for the recipe! -
Nice salad. We liked the pineapple in it. It added extra flavor. Thanks for posting. -
I can't claim to have ever been a big fan of this type of salad. I made it because I had raisins and carrots on hand and thought my kids might enjoy this. Lo and behold for me, I also happened to have an 8 oz can of pineapple tidbits in the pantry. So I made this. Initially, they did not like the looks of the salad and they "weren't going to eat that"! Ha, ha. The joke was on them as they ate ALL their serving and loved it. The pineapple was the trick, I think. That's what worked for me, at any rate! I'll definitely make this again.

Also I would also use finer grated carrots, not the "usual cheese" size grate. This is a 1/2 cup serving, as I recommended in the earlier post.

I doubled everything but only had one can of pineapple. It was fine that way. Next time I will try fewer raisins, too.

Leave the sugar out, and substitute pineapple juice for the lemon juice.

Followed recipe as listed, except used Miracle Whip Light (mayonnaise-type dressing). It was very tasty! Says it serves 4, only if you aren't eating anything else!!! I'd say serves at least 10 to 12 (1/2 cup servings). Some have said it was too sweet for their taste, if that's the case for you, use less or no sugar. I think "crasins" would work fine, though I haven't tried it yet.
