Instructions

  • First, grab a large mixing bowl and combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and sugar. Stir until smooth and the sugar dissolves.
  • Next, add grated carrots, crushed pineapple, raisins, and pecans to the bowl. Mix to coat every bit.
  • Taste your salad. Add more mayonnaise if needed for a richer touch.
  • Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or lid and chill in the fridge.
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Before serving, toss gently and sprinkle parsley on top.

Notes

Fresh Is Best: Your carrot slaw will taste best when it’s served fresh, the day it's made after it has been chilled.
Plump The Raisins: warm up the pineapple juice and let them soak in it until they plump up a bit.
Mayonnaise Free Version: Use Greek yogurt as a substitute for a healthier alternative.
