Carrot Salad
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Chill Time: 2 hours
Servings: 6 servings
This old-fashioned Carrot Salad is simple, creamy, and slightly sweet — just like the kind you’d find at a classic Aussie BBQ. It’s a great side dish that can be made ahead and served chilled.
Ingredients
- 600 g carrots around 4 large, peeled and grated
- 1 cup raisins or sultanas
- 1 scant tablespoon honey or 1 teaspoon if using raisins
- 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ cup milk
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Grate the carrots and place them in a large bowl. Add the raisins or sultanas.
- Whisk together the honey, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and milk until smooth.
- Pour the dressing over the carrots and mix gently but thoroughly.
- Chill for a few hours for the best flavour. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes
