I like raisins but not in my salads or puddings (like bread pudding). Most carrot salads I’ve seen have raisins in them. Just not something I’m terribly fond of. This carrot salad uses dried cherries and it works perfectly. Try this Carrot Cherry Salad, or try using dried cherries in your favorite carrot salad.
