Step 1:

• Peel and grate the carrots into a large mixing bowl.
• Make sure the carrots are finely grated to ensure a smooth texture for the salad.

Step 2:

• Drain the crushed pineapple thoroughly and add it to the bowl with the grated carrots.
• If the pineapple is not well-drained, the salad can become too watery.

Step 3:

• Add the raisins and chopped walnuts (if using) to the bowl.
• The raisins add sweetness and the walnuts add a pleasant crunch to the salad.

Step 4:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, fresh lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
• Pour this dressing over the carrot and pineapple mixture and toss well to combine. Make sure all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
