Fiber Is Your Friend -- Carrot Salad

My elderly mother lives with us. I whip this up for her whenever I see her reaching for the Metamucil.

4 Cups grated raw carrots
½ Cup raisins -- or any other dried fruit
½ Cup sliced almonds -- or any other chopped nuts
2 tsp. sugar (optional)
1/3 Cup Mayonnaise
1/8 Cup pineapple juice
¼ Cup crushed pineapple

Combine 4 Cups grated raw carrots, ½ Cup raisins and ½ Cup sliced almonds in a large mixing bowl. Mix everything well and set aside.

Whisk 2 tsp. sugar into 1/3 Cup mayonnaise in a small mixing bowl. Whisk in 1/8 Cup pineapple juice. Stir in ¼ Cup crushed pineapple.

Fold the dressing into the grated carrot mixture. Stir gently to mix well. Refrigerate in airtight container. Chill for 2 hours before serving.

TIP: You won’t need an entire can of crushed pineapple and juice, and I hate seeing anything go to waste. Portion ¼ Cup of the pineapple and 1/8 Cup of the juice together into individual plastic containers or ziplock bags and freeze. Thaw a container of pineapple and juice to make your next few batches of carrot salad.
