Not sure why this is called a layered salad when it's all mixed together, but sounds interesting, anyway.
'CARROT CAKE' LAYERED SALAD
This is a great rendition of a carrot and raisin salad that only takes about 10 minutes to prepare. This recipe serves 12, and can be multiplied for larger volume.
2 lbs. grated or shredded carrots
1 cup crushed pineapple
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup powdered sugar (Splenda works well here for diabetics or dieters!)
3 tbsp. cinnamon powder
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup mayonnaise (not Miracle Whip, low-fat also works well)
In a large bowl, combine the carrots, pineapple, raisins, and walnuts.
In a medium bowl, mix the mayonnaise, powdered sugar, and cinnamon. Pour over carrot mixture and combine thoroughly.
Store covered in refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
