Carrot Salad

In the summer time, I love salads. Green leafy, potato, cucmber and tomato or even Carrot salad. I get it at buffet stops when the have it, and I just love how the taste of pineapple, raisin and carrots send back home to when I was 8 or 9 and Mom made it. Yum. I have tweaked the recipe some for this version, thus making it my own. Hope you enjoy!

What you need:

4-5 Large carrots, washed and peeled
1/2 C dried cranberries
1/2 C diced pineapple
1/4 TBLSP tarragon
1/4 TBSLP celery seed
1/4 C mayo
1/4 C the other sammie spread known as "salad dressing"

Shred carrots (I have a grater that slips over a bowl I got from IKEA)into a bowl. Add cranberries, pineapple and herbs. Spoon mayo and dressing ontop, stir until just wet. Set in refridgerator and stir every so often. Serve cold, when completely chilled. Serves 4 people. A great side dish with hamburgers, hotdogs, any summer time type food....
