Easy make ahead salad, especially if you use pre-shredded carrots. Make at least 4 hours ahead of time Ingredients:
1/3 cup vegetable oil |
1/4 cup vinegar |
1/2 tsp salt |
1 tbsp chopped fresh chives or 1 tsp dried chives |
13 1/2 ounce (approx) can pineapple chunks, reserve juice |
2 tbsp syrup or juice drained from canned pineapple |
3 cups coarsely shredded carrots |
additional chopped chives for garnish |
Directions:
1. Mix together the oil, vinegar, salt, chives and drained syrup or juice. To vary flavor to suit your taste, use your favorite oil and vinegar. I like light tasting olive oil because it doesn't overpower other flavors, but is still a healthier choice. And my favorite vinegar is apple cider vinegar, but you may be more adventurous.
2. Mix shredded carrots and drained pineapple tidbits together.
3. Pour the oil/vinegar mixture over the carrot/pineapple mixture and toss lightly just to coat.
4. Chill at least 4 hours.
5. Serve in a shallow bowl, garnished with additional chopped chives.
