This is seriously the easiest salad recipe ever.  Three ingredients, and five minutes of your time (unless you have to shred the carrots by hand with a grater, and then it might be closer to 10 minutes), and you’ve got a delicious side dish.

My mom made this salad when I was a kid, but she used raisins instead of Craisins.  I love the little bit of tang and sweetness that Craisins bring to carrot Craisin salad, so that’s how I make it.

Carrot Craisin Salad is always a big hit at potlucks and BBQs.  Plus it’s really cheap to make.  Carrots are such a low cost vegetable to add into your diet.  The most expensive part of this side dish is the Craisins, but at only 3/4 cup, that’s still really cheap.

If you want to add a bit of crunch to Carrot Craisin Salad, feel free to add in 1/2 a cup of chopped pecans or walnuts.  I’ve even used candied walnuts before, and it was amazing!
