Carrot Salad

I buy the packaged shredded carrots at the store. Put the carrots in a microwave veg. cooker, along with a handful of golden raisins. Nuke for 3 mins. at 40% power. Drain and let cool a little. This is just to make the carrots a softer and more receptive to the dressing. You can also pour some boiling water over the carrots or just leave them plain and crunchy. Toss in a can of drained pineapple chunks - the kind in their own juice - and some sunflower seeds or walnuts. Mix about 2 tablespoons of the drained pineapple juice with mayo and toss with all the rest. This same juice-thinned mayo is great for fruit salad.
