This Easy Carrot Raisin Salad is a sautéed, spicy-sweet, healthier spin on the traditional version that is made with mayonnaise. This one is made with only 10 easy-to-find ingredients and can be made in less than 15 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 4 small carrots
  • 1 onion
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 inch knob of ginger
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or oil of your choice
  • 1/4 cup pecans unsalted
  • 1/4 cup raisins I used golden raisins
  • 3 tsp coriander powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp chili flakes
  • 1 tbsp parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Start off by peeling the onion, ginger knob, and garlic cloves. Once they are peeled, chop them up. They do not have to be super fine.
  • Then, wash and grate the carrots. You could peel them if you prefer and then grate them, or simply grate them as is.
  • Add the olive oil to a large, heavy-bottomed pan and add in the chopped onions, ginger, and garlic. Let these sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring so often, so they do not stick and burn.
  • Then add in the coriander, smoked paprika, and chili flakes and mix well.
  • Turn the stove off.
  • Add in the grated carrots, pecans, and raisins. Mix so all ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish with parsley (either fresh or dried) and enjoy!
