Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Carrot Pineapple Salad

For a sweeter salad, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup.
Toasted walnuts offer a more intense flavor. Toast them in a dry pan over medium heat for a few minutes until fragrant.
If you prefer a thicker salad, use full-fat Greek yogurt.
Feel free to add other fruits like chopped apples or berries for extra flavor and texture.
