Gather all desired tools: cutting board, sharp knife, measuring cups (if you need them! I tend to approximate with my ingredients), grater, mixing bowl, and spatula.
Gather ingredients: vinegar (rice vinegar shown), mayonnaise, carrots, celery, raisins, and apple.
Make the dressing: Add 1 Tbs vinegar (white, rice, or apple cider is fine) and 1/4 cup mayonnaise in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Mix together until blended. Add approximately 1 Tbs sugar for a sweeter salad. Mix just until smooth.
Prepare salad: Remember to thoroughly wash all produce.
1. Grate 2 cups of carrots (approximately 2-3 carrots)
2. Finely dice 1 large stalk of celery (the finer the better - you will hardly taste it, but gives the salad nice texture)
3. Dice up half of a small apple, leaving the skin on.
4. Measure out raisins, approximately 1/3 cup. (I used a jumbo medley, so I diced them into smaller pieces)
Mix it up! Just enough to evenly distribute the dressing.
The mixing bowl I chose was a bit too small...
Transfer to a serving dish, cover, and refrigerate until chilled. Enjoy!
Options:
** Garnish servings with sunflower seeds or poppy seeds.
** Add drained canned pineapple to replace part of the diced apple.
** Add more mayonnaise for a heavier dressing.
** Omit all the fruits and just have more carrots and celery for a more savory flavor.
