Luby’s Shredded Carrot Raisin Salad

Luby’s Shredded Carrot Salad is a wonderful salad to make any time of the year. You can always find fresh carrots at the store. Combining carrots, pineapple, and raisins make for a delightful salad that keeps fresh in your refrigerator, so you can make it ahead of time. Best of all this salad can be made in minutes!

Carrot Salad with Raisins and Pineapple

Do you love carrot raisin salad? This salad is perfect for spring and summer.

Did you know this salad takes just no time at all to make? Colorful carrots are combined with a sweet creamy dressing, plump raisins, and sweet pineapple for an irresistible salad.

While this is a Luby’s copycat recipe, it also tastes very close to the Chick Fil A carrot salad that was discontinued.

What is in Carrot Raisin Salad?

This classic salad is made with very basic ingredients. Chances are you already have everything to make this recipe. Here’s a handy list of ingredients:

• Shredded carrots

If you don’t want to take the time to shred carrots you can buy a bag of shredded carrots in the grocery store.

Here are a couple of ingredient additions or substitutions:

• Add nuts for more crunch and flavor.
• Use pineapple tibits or crushed pineapple if you do not want large pineapple chunks.
• Use fresh pineapple instead of canned pineapple.

How to Make Carrot and Raisin Salad

You basically toss everything into a bowl, stir everything together, and then have a colorful salad everyone loves.

Here are the recipe steps:

1. Soak the raisins in warm water for a few minutes to plump them up. Then drain off the water.
2. Open the can of pineapple chunks and drain off the juice.
3. Place the shredded carrots, pineapple chunks, mayonnaise, raisins, and powdered sugar in a large bowl.
4. Stir until well combined.
5. Cover and refrigerate the carrot salad until ready to serve.

I personally like to make this classic carrot salad recipe at least an hour before I am ready to serve it. When you make this salad ahead of time, it allows the flavors to mingle for a bit and it tastes even better than when it is first mixed.
