Ingredients
1 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
4 cups finely grated carrot, about 1 pound*
1-2 Granny Smith apples, cubed, about 1 cup
1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
Instructions
Plump the golden raisins by placing them in a heatproof bowl and covering them with boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and pepper. Add the finely grated carrots, cubed apples, toasted pecans, and the plumped raisins. Toss very well to coat.
Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Cover and chill for a few hours before serving.
Notes
*I do not recommend using packaged matchstick carrots for this recipe. Please grate the carrots finely for the best flavor, texture, and the needed moisture for the best results. If you try this with matchstick carrots, you will likely need to add quite a bit more mayo to the dressing and the carrot flavor will not be the same.
