Carrot Salad With Raisins

This carrot and raisin salad is an attractive dish to take along to a cookout or potluck. The bright color and sweet and tangy flavor will appeal to even the pickiest eaters. I like to make carrot salad with multicolored carrots.

Feel free to leave the chopped walnuts out or use toasted pecans. Sunflower seeds are another possibility.
