I love the fact that you shared and got emotional at the end of the video thinking about your mom. I had tears my eyes thinking of mine and all the things that she made me when I was a kid and my grandmother. It is so precious to have those people around while they’re here, and we have to show them we love them every day and appreciate them. I sure do appreciate you and Melissa. My mom was from Kentucky, she was born in Louisville and then lived in Harrodsburg.

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.

I love that Tom gets choked up at the end of this video. So touching to remember our family and their traditions through food.

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 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. 😂

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 YouTube award!! 🏆🎉

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.

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 carrot salad, but hers was made with orange Jello. So true... so many family gatherings with good food and treasured memories!!

[valeriel]

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!

Merry Christmas Tom and Melissa. It’s been a joy to get to know you and your stories xox. Hello from Sydney Australia 👋🏼

[nancywhitehead]

One of the reasons I watch your channel are these vintage.classic recipes you do together on your channel And most of all as you mention they bring back great, loving, memories of my childhood. Everyone in our family cooked.I began my culinary career by playing on my Aunt Ines kirchen floor with pots and pans and wooden spoons then graduated to helping her with small prep chores while she cooked. From a young age I loved to take everything out of the bottom cupboards and drawers and "organize " them for my Aunt lol lol I graduated to the top caninets as I grew up. lol My Aunt Ine could cook anything from scatch but barely ever measured anything so even today at 86 do I . lol Old habits die hard lol Love your channel you both are lovely people..Keep cooking...

[Julies-in-a-mood]

I love how greatly you appreciate food, & the people you associate with it❤️

[AZCanner]

Anything you cook up in the kitchen is good. All your food is DELICIOUS.

[apryljohnson]

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.

[SanderaTheGypsy]

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

[Salmomlox]

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. 🤗

[barbaracotham]

I love this salad. I'm gonna make this salad. Thanks y'all for sharing your recipes.😅😊

[tinabeckley]

I’m sure it was “Kings Table”. We had one in Louisville and it was my grandmas favorite too!
