[recipe] Peanutty Carrot Salad

[Guest guest]

I saw a recipe for something similar to this in a

magazine. I loved the idea of mixing peanut butter

with carrots, yogurt and pineapple, but hated their

ingredient list that included raisins and mayonnaise.

In place of the mayo, I just opted to use a bit of reseved

pineapple juice, then I skipped the raisins altogether.

Feel free to include the raisins back in if you enjoy them.

 

Peanutty Carrot Salad

 

2 cups shredded carrots

1 can (8oz) crushed pineapple, drained (reserve juice)

1/2 cup sunflower kernels

1/2 cup salted peanuts

1/4 cup peanut butter

1/4 cup vanilla yogurt

Lettuce leaves

 

In a bowl, toss the carrots, pineapple, sunflower kernels

and peanuts. In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter,

yogurt and just enough reserved pineapple juice

to make it a smooth dressing (I'd estimate I used about

3Tbs, maybe a bit less); mix well. Pour over carrot

mixture and stir gently to coat. Serve in lettuce-lined bowls.

Yield: 4 to 5 servings
