Step-by-Step Method
Prep the carrots
Wash and peel the carrots, then shred them finely. If they seem very wet, gently squeeze out a little moisture so the dressing stays creamy.
Mix the dressing
In a bowl, whisk the yogurt, mayonnaise, and lemon juice until smooth. Add a small pinch of salt and pepper if you like.
Combine
Add the shredded carrots to the bowl and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Fold in raisins
Stir in the raisins gently. If your raisins are extra dry, soak them in warm water for 5 minutes, then drain well before adding.
Chill and serve
For the best texture, chill for 10–15 minutes, then serve cold. Give it a final stir right before serving.
