Believe it or not, Chick-fil-A served this for years!! They discontinued it right before they got rid of their coleslaw. This is the recipe I figured out after that because it’s the only vegetable I could get my young son to eat! I don’t use sugar, opting for a little salt and ground black pepper. We love this salad!! I use the small grater side as it’s easier to chew for toddlers and little ones.
Carrot salad is one of my husband’s favorites! I prepared your recipe for dinner tonight!! He said, “This is the BEST you’ve ever made!” Changing the raisins to golden raisins and adding the powdered sugar makes all the difference in the world! Thanks so much for another great recipe!! Btw, congratulations on your well-deserved RUclips award!! 🏆🎉
Oh my gosh. My grandfather always told me "Raisins are rabbit droppings". I would never eat them after that. Never had them in my house! My daughter came home from kindergarten all excited because they had oatmeal raisin cookies, and they were "so good'. She asked me why we never had cookies with raisins? "they are just dried grapes". I was adult and still believed my grandfather. If you couldn't trust your grandfather, who could you?
I love raisins, but never had thought about comparing rabbit droppings to raisins LOL. You didnt ruin it for me by telling that sweet story. Thank you for this recipe
I love this salad made with fresh grated carrots. I haven’t made this in years. I will now. And soon… Thank you. ❤I’m laughing so hard… rabbit salad. 😂
LOVE this salad. There is a restaurant near my work that serves this, and I get it every time I go. I count it as a salad and dessert. Love it with pineapple, and I think it'd be great with some chopped pecans in it too.
My mom always made this when I was a child. I will normally buy the cheapest raisins but golden are my favorite. I've never made it with any sugar, just real mayo. My mom would heat a pan of water up on the stove and soak her raisins for a short bit to soften and plump them up and then drain. I also do the same. I like think this salad is best made the night before so the flavors incorporate together and the carrots soften a bit. Love carrot salad!
Carrots, pineapple, and raisins are sweet. I would think that would make it sweet enough. Most people eat too much sugar. I think I would like it your way better. I like things a little less sweet than most people do.
THIS is a refreshing salad. They had it at Home Towne Buffet. JUST want to let you know I picked up two boxes of little Debbie's Christmas Trees. The store had plenty. ❤️❤️❤️🌲🌲🌲☮️☮️☮️😃😊👍🖐️👌
So many different memories pop up from our childhood. I'm 69 years old, and I still love watching the animated Christmas shows every year. It throws me back in my in my memories when I was a child sitting on my father's knee. Just like reading the night before Christmas Story every year. I had a wonderful childhood and will always have those precious memories. Just like Tom has of his mother and father. Have a wonderful week.
My mother ALWAYS AT EVERY HOLIDAY made her golden glow salad. It had carrots, celery, pineappleand setvin lemon jello. No one liked it but it was tradition . It had to be there or the dinners couldnt start.😅😅😅😅😅. Im in my mid 70s and im second born ...moms still living at home in her mid 90s...its the golden glow once more. 😂😂😂 i think when moms gone someone will have to make that goldenglowmor itvwont be a holiday meal.
We had it a lot, we always had a big garden and grew our own carrots, it had walnuts (again had walnut & pecan trees), orange jello and home dried raisins.
Here is my little story of carrot salad. When my son was in elementary school, he had school lunch most days. One day he came home and told me Ms. Katy fed them carrot peelings for lunch. I told him no it was carrot salad. I could not convince him that it was not the peelings. To this day, he does not like carrot salad. I think I would enjoy this one with the pineapple in it better than my recipe. Thanks for sharing. Have a Blessed day.
One of my favorite salads. Your dark raisin story cracked me up. I raised rabbits growing up, and I never put those two things together. But I do see how that could happen. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Tom and Melissa! I enjoyed hearing the history and story behind this carrot salad. Especially why you use Golden Raisins 😂. This brings back memories for me as well. My Mom made a similar salad with walnuts. Thanks so much for sharing and Thank You Melissa for posting the written recipe for us. Have an awesome day. 🤗
Hi😊I live in Portsmouth Ohio. I knew you 2 lived in Kentucky but I never realized you lived so close to me until this video. Congratulations on Your silver button! 🎉 Thanks for your recipes and love.❤
Hi Tom and Melissa The carrot salad looks and sounds delicious ! I’ll bet Crasins would also be great and add a bright red color to this beautiful salad ! Thsnks for all y’all great recipes , and for always adding the receipt to the description box for us ! God bless ❤️🙏🙋🏻🌈🙏🎄🥗
@@cathyprosser1050 I know I add them in my dressing at Thanksgiving and Christmas also the Crasins add a nice sweetness to the cornbread dressing and I add them to my regular table salads also !!
I just love watching y'all. I would totally love sitting at your table. It is so sad how our nation has forgotten what fellowship with each other consists of. I watch ..even when I know I'm not going to make what you are demonstrating. Please let us see your sweet wife more. Be blessed and have a Merry Christmas!!
No matter what I'm doing I will always stop and write down your recipes . I mark them as from your channel because I know they are going to be good. When I flip through my recipes ( I have thousands ) and I see that mark I know I can trust that recipe. Thanks to Melissa for always making it so easy to get these recipes.
Carrot salad was very popular in my house in the 70s. I have fond memories of either carrot salad or pear salad being on the table during the summer months. I love raisins of any color! lol! Another great dish and memory.
My Mom was so health-conscious we never had added sugar except for desserts. Carrots, dark raisins, mayo and walnuts. Occasionally diced apple. Love the pineapple which I too discovered at the smorgasbord restaurants. A great end-of-the-week salad when the lettuce was used up.
I fell for carrot salad when chick fila used to sell it but discontinued and it had dark raisins this looks better with the goldens. I will make this soon thanks and congrats on the YT silver award!!
I never thought I would be saying that a man would teach me something but here I go you taught me to mix the mayonnaise with the powdered sugar that I think that is very smart. I always just put it in the bowl and mixed it all up and it does make a difference, when you don’t mix it up and mix it up. And I thank you very much for that.
Not only does your salad sound sweet but so was your story about your mom. Looks delicious! I had an exchange student from Germany live with us for a year and she would make us carrot salad. She said it was popular in her country.
I enjoyed this video. When I was a child we had carrot salad often, and it was my job to grate the carrots. Ours was usually carrot, apple and raisin. We also had it with a sprinkling of coconut which was like that served at Morrison’s Cafeteria. Carrot salad is still a favorite of mine. Thanks for the memories.
Oh my goodness, Tom! Your confession about the raisins being rabbit droppings was hilarious! And, having come from a family that also raised rabbits, I can see where you got that idea! I loved them as a child, but now, not so much. I am so glad that Melissa pushed you into doing Come Sit At My Table. I have thoroughly enjoyed every video AND all of the recipes that I've tried!
I love this salad! My Mom made this all the time when we were young. I used to love going to stay at my grandparents house because my Nanny used to make this and another favorite of mine which I haven't had in years. It's a jello with cottage cheese and I think maybe apples and celery. I'm not sure but I wish I would have gotten all her recipes before she passed. ❤🙏
I hadn’t thought of this salad in years. Thanks for reminding me. I don’t remember the sugar, but it’s been a lot of years since I made it. I’m 79, and my Mom made this when I was a child. I also made it when I was married.
I love carrot salad but I haven't found a recipe that compared to the kind you are making so I am happy for this. I love the stories you guys tell about the past. I always loved Duff's all you can eat buffets too.
4:42 I had to laugh about the dark 9:23 raisins story because that's the very reason I won't eat raisin Belgian pie, reminds me of , we call them bunny beads in our family. 😅 Your stories are so entertaining. That's what makes cooking fun, having stories to share with the recipes.
I love to hear your stories with every recipe. I have lots of memories of my mom and things she used to cook. She was from Arkansas so her cooking involved lots of lard and frying. I loved it and loved and miss her so very much. Thanks for the nostalgia.
I remember going through the lunch line at school growing up and I always asked the lunch ladies leave out the other side on my plate and replace it with a double portion of carrot salad. I haven't made it in years but I will now! Thanks for the reminder and the memories!! Merry Christmas!!
We grew up with my great grandmother living in our house. She made this same salad and she always used golden raisens. So thank you for bringing back memories of gram.❤😊
Thank you 😋 It's a very old fashioned recipe, that's for sure. But sometimes it's really hard to beat those! We appreciate that you are watching our channel.
My mom also made a broccoli, raisin, bacon and thinly sliced purple onion with mayonnaise ( always Dukes) vinegar and sugar dressing. I love making that salad.
I make a similar salad, but I use vanilla yogurt instead of the mayo and sugar. Much healthier and fewer fat calories. II also add walnut bits to mine; for the crunchiness.
Congratulations on 100K followers, saw video today. Really do enjoy your recipes and how Tom is very thorough in explaining each step!! Aside from that have had several favorites. Keep up the great posts, congrats and Merry Christmas!!
Oh, this is such a great salad. Thank you for the recipe. My in-laws lived in the New Smyrna Beach area, and my parents vacationed there too. We always went to Duff’s. I loved all of their food. I think they are still in Clearwater. I will make this. The dark raisins always looked like flies to me.
Looks good. Ill have to make it! You are right about the memories. I remember a salad my mother made that had apples, maraschino cherries, and pecans. It was so good, and I loved it. Sadly, I never got the recipe. Everyone I knew who made it has passed, and ive never seen any cook who makes it. But....I still have my memories of it! 😎❤✌
I love that Tom gets choked up at the end of this video. So touching to remember our family and their traditions through food.
Believe it or not, Chick-fil-A served this for years!! They discontinued it right before they got rid of their coleslaw. This is the recipe I figured out after that because it’s the only vegetable I could get my young son to eat!
I don’t use sugar, opting for a little salt and ground black pepper. We love this salad!! I use the small grater side as it’s easier to chew for toddlers and little ones.
Chick filet had coarse grated carrots their coleslaw was my favorite then came the awful kale salad now its macaroni and cheese. I miss the coleslaw
Carrot salad is one of my husband’s favorites! I prepared your recipe for dinner tonight!!

G'day from Australia 🇦🇺
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I was so disappointed several years ago when Chick Filet stopped having carrot salad. Your😂😂😂 rabbit dropping story is so funny.
I absolutely love carrots 🥕 salad 😊
I too am a fan of carrot salad.I was introduced to it at a RESTERENT in Jefferson Ga.Years ago.ThanksTom for your Moms recipe.
Oh my gosh. My grandfather always told me "Raisins are rabbit droppings". I would never eat them after that. Never had them in my house!

LoL I've heard that too. And I still don't like raised either..🎉❤😂
I absolutely love carrot salad, thank you for this easy recipe!!
What a cute funny story!
😂😂
I love raisins, but never had thought about comparing rabbit droppings to raisins LOL. You didnt ruin it for me by telling that sweet story. Thank you for this recipe
Anything you cook up in the kitchen is good. All your food is DELICIOUS.
I love this salad made with fresh grated carrots. I haven’t made this in years. I will now. And soon… Thank you. ❤I’m laughing so hard… rabbit salad. 😂
My mom always made carrot salad, but hers was made with orange Jello. So true... so many family gatherings with good food and treasured memories!!
I've had that one too. I like it too, but I prefer this one.
Love watching your videos ❤

Merry Christmas Tom and Melissa. It’s been a joy to get to know you and your stories xox. Hello from Sydney Australia 👋🏼
LOVE this salad. There is a restaurant near my work that serves this, and I get it every time I go. I count it as a salad and dessert. Love it with pineapple, and I think it'd be great with some chopped pecans in it too.
I thought the same thing, too!
You're right!!!

Such an excellent teacher...your cadence, phrasing, emphasis. I could watch you teach a phonebook. Thank you.
My Mom made hers with finely grated carrots, raisins, milk and sugar. That's it and we loved it. The milk turned orange and we loved it too. LOL

Yes craigslist would be great

We used to have that carrot salad. My mother toasted pecans and chopped them in half and sprinkled just over the top. Yummy!
My mom also made a broccoli, raisin, bacon and thinly sliced purple onion with mayonnaise ( always Dukes) vinegar and sugar dressing. I love making that salad.
I make a similar salad, but I use vanilla yogurt instead of the mayo and sugar. Much healthier and fewer fat calories. II also add walnut bits to mine; for the crunchiness.
