Cool Carrot and Raisin Salad
Who knew vegetables could be so good? Your kids will beg to eat their carrots if they are in this sweet, cool and refreshing salad. This dish is so tasty it could even be served as a dessert. We served it alongside our Horseradish Baked Salmon to provide a perfect balance to the kick of the horseradish.
Use fresh pineapple if you can get it - but canned works just as well - just make sure it is drained well. This side dish is not only tasty and sweet but it is low in saturated fat and cholesterol, while being an excellent source of the key nutrients vitamins K, A and C, as well as potassium and manganese. Of course with the good comes the bad - a high portion of the calories of this meal come from the natural sugars in the fruit.
