Ingredients

    3 1⁄2 cups shredded carrots
    1⁄2 cup plain, low-fat yogurt, drained of any
    excess liquid
    1⁄2 cup crushed pineapple, no sugar added
    1 Granny Smith apple, not peeled, diced
    into 1/2-inch pieces

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the carrots, yogurt,
pineapple, and chopped apple.
2. Cover and chill for at least 10 minutes before
serving.

Feel free to add another apple—and if you don’t have pineapple on hand, consider raisins, nuts, or grapes. I sometimes sprinkle celery seed or poppy seeds on top for a more adult flavor.

    Is saying something "sounds good" a review?
    It would mean something, if the "reviewer" had actually tasted it.

    @ A Miller
    the apples will not get brown because of the citrus acid in the pineapple

    Seeing this recipe with the "optionals" is like watching a car advertisement, where in the small print disclaimer they tell you you're not seeing the car as priced, but with "options." 1 Tbsp of poppyseed adds about 46 calories to the dish. The optional celery... go absolutely wild with it! - 9/21/12
