Grandma's Carrot Salad

Drescription

This carrot salad is quick and easy to make with just five ingredients. My grandma made it all the time, and I loved it. Now I make it to honor her, and it's almost as good.

Ingredients

1 pound shredded carrots
1 ¼ cups raisins
2 tablespoons mayonnaise, or more to taste
1 teaspoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

Gather the ingredients.
Mix shredded carrots and raisins together in a large salad bowl.
Whisk mayonnaise, lemon juice, and salt in a small bowl until smooth.
Pour over carrot mixture; stir until carrots and raisins are completely coated. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.

Slow Cooker Wings

Slow-cooker wings are a fuss-free way to prepare wings for game day. The wings are tender, and they brown nicely under the broiler. After broiling, they're tossed in the tangy, sweet sauce they're cooked in, with the remaining sauce served on the side for dipping.

Slow Cooker Three-Bean Chili Mac

Chili meets mac and cheese in this fix-it-and-forget-it slow-cooker dinner. Hot tomato sauce, a Mexican canned tomato sauce that also includes spices and chiles for heat, kicks up the flavor. If you can’t find hot tomato sauce, regular canned tomato sauce with a tablespoon of chili powder mixed in is a good substitute. You can cook the pasta separately and add it in at the end of cooking, or use our alternative method and cook the pasta in the slow cooker with a few adjustments listed below.
