Canary Salad Recipe

RE: Canary Salad Recipe Post By Vicka (Guest Post) (07/15/2006) I'll bet this recipe is a variation of "grated carrot salad" made with as much grated carrot as you want, mayo added to moisten to your liking (my kids didn't like it too goopy with too much mayo) and raisins (black or yellow), and some drained pineapple- but you can add juice if desired at the end. Just start adding ingredients as you prefer--to the consistency you like. You can add mini marshmallows, coconut, mandarin oranges...anything RE: Canary Salad Recipe Post by mef1957 (225) | (07/14/2006) Profile | Blog! | Contact Never heard of this before now but I got curious and found this recipe. You'll have to do some conversions though. http://www.ivu.org/recipes/european/eight-j.html Eight Canary Islands Summer Salad from: Aitzol Ezeiza - San Sebastian, Spain This recipe is from the Canary Islands (called the fortunated islands).
