APR 30 Raisin Day
The word raisin is stolen word from the French.
Raisin in French literally means grape; pretty simple since they are dried grapes!
As a child I never liked carrot raisin salad...but I love this new
lighter & fresher version...sans the mayo.

Hey! Hope you're doing well! Looks good, but I don't like raisins or pineapple :( No one can understand the pineapple thing and I don't either! Maybe because when we were kids, there were so many of us that we didn't have lots of choices. Who knows?
ReplyDeleteThat sounds so good and it's something I could make sugar free! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteYummy...sounds like summertime on a plate!
ReplyDeleteMr. Ken would enjoy this!
