A refreshing and vibrant salad combining the sweetness of carrots and pineapple with a creamy dressing.
Soak the golden raisins in warm water for about 5 minutes to plump them up.
Using warm water helps the raisins soften quickly, enhancing their texture.
Grate the fresh carrots into thin shreds.
Use a fine grater for a smoother texture or a coarse one for more crunch.
Combine the grated carrots, plumped raisins, fresh pineapple chunks, shredded coconut, and light mayonnaise in a mixing bowl.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the pineapple chunks.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve the salad in a decorative bowl and enjoy.
Garnish with a sprinkle of shredded coconut for an appealing presentation.
