Drain the pineapple thoroughly, pressing it in a sieve to remove excess juice.
Whisk the mayonnaise, yogurt, honey, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
Add carrots, raisins, pineapple, and pecans if using. Fold until everything is coated.
Chill 20–30 minutes to meld flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.
Notes
Variation: Swap pecans for sunflower seeds, or add a small chopped apple for extra crunch. For a lighter salad, use more yogurt and less mayonnaise. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; stir before serving.This recipe is an original creation inspired by classic Carrot Raisin Salad Recipes flavors.
