When I first heard of Carrot Salad, I’ll admit I was a little skeptical. It’s a traditional Southern potluck dish which are usually winners, so I decided to give it a try and I’m glad I did! The sweet raisins pair perfectly with the earthy carrots and the shredded raw veggies have the perfect crisp texture. From cookouts to potlucks to picnics, this salad is a refreshing, flavorful and beautiful way to brighten up your summer meals.

  1. This recipe is an absolute classic done completely right. The dressing has the perfect balance of creamy and tangy without overpowering the natural crunch and sweetness of the carrots and raisins.
