Carrots and Raisins (Healthy Snack)

Recipe #69150 | 6 min | 5 min prep | add private note

This came from my mother who managed to grow two kids taller(and I mean taller!) then herself. We ate these carrots all the time! Overall is a great snack that is tasty. I suggest to adjust to your taste, some like it soggy some not, just don't make it in advance, will lose the carotene Make sure to exclude raisins if prepared for infants or toddlers under 5. Use your own judgment but raisins ARE choking hazard.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Place raisins in a small amount of water, so they plump up a little. (this step is optional) Grate carrots on a smallest part of your grater.
  2. 2
    Combine grated carrots, sour cream, raisins (take them out of water prior) and then add sugar (adjust to your taste).
  3. 3
    We love it just the way it is and my l'il one gets his nutrition.
  4. 4
    Beware, this combination may make your kids grow few inches taller. Carotene with sour cream and sugar is a dangerous mix for your kid's growth potential.

What an unusual combo! I loved it! I used light sour cream and sweetened with Splenda. Thanks for the recipe! Great way to use up carrots (and great reason to buy more carrots!)

    This is great, it reminds me of the carrot-raisin salad at Chik-Fil-A... I also used splenda to sweeten. Definitely a keeper!

    This is one of my favourite salads. I used honey as a substitute for sugar(to make it more healthy) and I also used 2 tbsps. of lemon juice to give it some tanginess. My dad likes to have this garnished with some salted peanuts. I prefer it plain(counting calories!). Wonderful good salad!
