Carrot and Raisin Salad

This is a very retro salad that I sometimes crave along with apple Waldorf salads. Both versions that I make are lightly sweet with a bit of coconut, the way I have been making them since the 1970’s.

Rather than something I would serve as a salad course per se, although you could,  I often find myself eating things like this towards the end of a meal in lieu of a dessert.  Of course at times like Family Holidays, this is welcome on the table all around. And children love it. And while sometimes carrot salads can be more suitable for the Spring months, the addition of pecans makes this a better treat for all  year round.
