Finely grate two large cleaned carrots into a bowl.
Add 1 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice and 1/2 cup raisins. Add just enough low fat mayonnaise (not miracle whip, and not non fat)
to make it moist but not "gommy". Stir well and let sit for the 15 minutes it takes to cook your main course.
Of course, you can make this ahead and let it sit in the refrigerator for a day if you wish.
You can also get creative and add 1/2 cup drained crushed pineapple. I don't.
This is a good side course with either of my RAVIOLI dishes made without tomato sauce.
below: It gives a "soft" meal a bit of crunch and color, as well as adding a bit of sweetness also.
