Ingredients

½ cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
pinch salt and pepper
6 large carrots peeled and grated
1 cup raisins
8 oz. crushed pineapple (1 small can)

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper.
Add in the carrots, raisins, and crushed pineapple, and stir to combine.

Notes

If you like things on the tangier side, try using just half the honey or skip the pineapple altogether. The carrots and raisins will still give you plenty of natural sweetness.
Swap the mayonnaise for Greek yogurt or sour cream for a tangier twist, or use your favorite dairy-free mayo to make this salad completely vegan.
Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less honey or maple syrup.
