Notes
Recipe Tips:
-
- Grate the Carrots: Hand-grated carrots are more tender and the best choice. Matchstick carrots will have a different texture.
-
- Make in Advance: Make it in advance and refrigerate it until you are ready to eat. It gets better the longer it sits in the refrigerator.
-
- Refrigerate: This salad will last for about 3 days in the fridge. It tends to get a little watery after a few days.
- Pineapple: You'll need crushed pineapple for this recipe. I have used tidbits, and they worked fine, but crushed pineapple is better. You can use fresh pineapple, but you'll need to run it through your food processor first.
