Description

Celebrate Rosh Hashanah with a vibrant and refreshing Carrot and Pineapple Salad. This dish combines the sweetness of carrots and pineapple with a hint of honey and lemon, symbolizing a sweet and prosperous new year. It’s simple to prepare and a delightful addition to your festive table.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and grated
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Step 1:

  • Peel and grate the carrots into a large mixing bowl.
  • Make sure the carrots are finely grated to ensure a smooth texture for the salad.

Step 2:

  • Drain the crushed pineapple thoroughly and add it to the bowl with the grated carrots.
  • If the pineapple is not well-drained, the salad can become too watery.

Step 3:

  • Add the raisins and chopped walnuts (if using) to the bowl.
  • The raisins add sweetness and the walnuts add a pleasant crunch to the salad.

Step 4:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, fresh lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  • Pour this dressing over the carrot and pineapple mixture and toss well to combine. Make sure all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.

Notes

  • For a different twist, you can add a handful of shredded coconut to the salad.
  • This salad can be made a few hours in advance and refrigerated. Just give it a good stir before serving.
  • Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a burst of color and extra freshness.
