- 1/2 cup raisins
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 small head lettuce, shredded
What to Do
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except lettuce; mix well.
- Place lettuce on a platter and spoon carrot mixture over the top.

I think I'll like the salad and it's a way to get more carrots into my diet. There are some good suggestions here so I think I'm going to make the original version and use half of the carrots for Grandma Jan's Olive version.

For a really yummy and different sweet and salty variation, try substituting salad (green) olives for the raisins. (Omit the sugar) My Mother made it that way for years - from back in the 1940's.

Sorry-I meant to say use the pineapple in place of shredded lettuce.

An alternative version that everyone seems to like when I make it is to use a cup or two of drained crushed pineapple
