Summer Coconut Carrot Salad


I am still on my coconut and carrot kick. Ever since Easter I have been drooling over the combination of  coconut and carrots. They complement each other so well that I can't stop myself from coming up with ways to pair them.

I hope you enjoy my summer salad as much as I do!

SUMMER COCONUT CARROT SALAD

Ingredients:

4 Large Carrots
1 Tbls Plain Non Fat Greek Yogurt or 1 Tbls Olive Oil Mayo
1 Tbls Olive Oil
1/2 Cup Chunked Pineapples
2 Tbls Almonds
1/4 Cup Fresh Cilantro
3 Tbls Shredded Coconut
1/4 Cup Raisins
Optional Add In: 2 Tbls Sunflower Seeds

Directions:

1. Place your carrots in a food processor and give quick pulses to chop into small pieces, being mindful not to puree the carrots.

2. Add Yogurt/Mayo, Olive Oil, Pineapple, Almonds, and Cilantro to the food processor.
    Give 3-4 quick pulses to combine all the ingredients. Again being mindful not to puree.

3. Transfer to a bowl and stir in Coconut, Raisins, and the optional Sunflower Seeds.

4. Place in the fridge for 15 minutes to chill.

This is a great fresh side dish for your summer picnics and barbeques.

Happy Summer Friends!
