Does anyone else miss the Carrot Salad from Chick-fil-a? It was always a favorite side dish. I hated when they pulled it from the menu!! I came across a recipe for Carrot Salad in one of my cookbooks and decided to give it a try. OMG! SO good!! Carrots, raisins, pineapple, and coconut. I mean, what’s not to love?!?! Chicken Legs isn’t a carrot fan and was totally dreading tasting this dish. BUT One bite and he was a fan! He LOVED it! I knew he would.
How to Make Carrot & Raisin Salad with Pineapple and Coconut
This side dish is very easy to make. Grate some carrots and place them in a bowl. Add crushed pineapple, coconut, raisins, sugar, and mayonnaise. Mix everything together and refrigerate a few hours before serving.
- I used a box grater to grate the carrots. I do not suggest using preshredded carrots in this reicpe. They are dry and hard. Freshly grated carrots taste much better!
- This can be made in advance and refrigerated until you are ready to serve. I think it gets better as it sits in the fridge.
- Is Carrot Salad gluten-free? Yes! All of the ingredients in the recipe are gluten-free.
Easy Side Dish for a Crowd
We love to serve this with sandwiches. It is also great with grilled meats. Well, I guess it is good with really anything! Give this a try for your next potluck or brunch. I promise it will be a hit!

I’ve been making this salad for years. I like to add some dry orange Jell-O. It gives it sweetness, flavor & color. You can omit the coconut and sugar and it’s still delish! You can also “plump” the raisins in heated pineapple juice & then chop them. This is one of my favorite salads!
This is a very good recipe! Great way to use carrots and add color to the meal! I added a pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon. This will be my quick go to side dish when I need veggies but a sweet kick!
Thank you for sharing this. Many friend and husband loved it!!
Dried cranberry instead of raisins?
sounds delicious
WE MADE THIS A FEW WEEKS AGO AND EVERYONE L-O-V-E-D IT!!! THANKS SOOO MUCH!!!
Hi Steph, yum!!! going to make this today. Just wondering, do I drain the pineapple? It sounds so delish!! Hi to Jack, Squeaky and Fluff from Orange, Demon and Sweet!!!
Hey Donna! I didn’t drain the pineapple in this salad. Enjoy!!
This is my hubby all time favorite salad! He likes me to switch it up a little bit!I use granny Smith apples instead of pineapples
