This is an unusual salad that strikes just the right balance between carrots & maple. You can even toss in a tablespoon or two of dried cranberries if you wish. Enjoy.
3-4 cups of shredded carrots
1/2 cup of raisins (regular or yellow)
1 cup celery in small dice
2 Tbsp. chopped pecans, walnut, or pistachios
1/2 cup mayo (I use only Hellmann’s) OR sour cream
1/4 cup good quality maple syrup
Into a large bowl, combine the carrots, raisins, celery and nuts. In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the mayo & maple syrup. Add this to the carrot mixture and mix gently but thoroughly to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
