This is spectacular! Made a friend, who hates anything made with carrots,taste it. She couldn't stop eating it and asked for the recipe.

I made the Carrot Pineapple Salad for a pot luck lunch with our church seniors. There were so many other delicious dishes there that I was afraid I would take most of mine home. I was pleasantly surprised when they licked the platter clean.
