I used regular mayo because I hate the fat free stuff, and I also tried this with sour cream and plain yogurt, all with very good results, with a slightly different, but pleasing taste. I also used regular sugar, because I do not like substitutes. I only used one large Granny Smith apple, one good sized grated carrot, a small amount of celery and about 2 tablespoons of raisins. The raisins add a bit more color and of course texture and flavor. I think it is key to use a tart firm apple. I would like to try this as a base for coleslaw, adding both green and red cabbage.

This turned out great! Perfect diet food because it tastes like it's not. I could serve this simple recipe entertaining friends who aren't dieting. Love it!

I made this because it sounded so good, not because of the WW points. I coarse-grated carrots, 4 small ones, plus added a thinly sliced orange and about 1/3 C raisins. For the apple I used one Fuji rather than a Granny Smith, since that's what I had on hand. I slightly increased the dressing ingredients (with the exception of the Splenda) because of the volume I had. It was perfect, lightly coating but not drenching the salad. It was delicious and refreshing!

Delicious and easy-to-make salad! Used regular apples and skipped the artificial sweetener. Thanks for posting this keeper which we will be having again soon!
