Ingredients

2	cups	carrots	grated
1/2	cup	raisins, seedless
2	tablespoons	lemon juice
1	tablespoon	sugar
1/4	cup	mayonnaise
1/2	cup	nuts	chopped (pecans or cashews are good choices)
1/4	cup	coconut	grated

Directions

Grate carrot, being careful not to grate your fingers. Toss (that means mix together with a fork) the carrot, raisins, lemon juice, and sugar. Put in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Add the mayonaise and, if you like, the nuts and coconut. Toss again to make sure the mayonaise coats all the carrot and serve.

To make it fancy, put each serving on a piece of lettuce.

This salad was very good and easy to make. The dressing was light and tasty and it was just the right amount with the other ingredients. I made it just as written and wouldn't change a thing about it. I will make this recipe again and again. Simple and nutritious!
