Pritikin Carrot Pineapple Salad

This Carrot Pineapple Salad is always in the “Top 30” recipes among guests at Pritikin Longevity Center + Spa.   We like the crunchiness of the carrots, which gives a satisfying sensation, and the natural sweetness and tartness of the pineapple is a perfect partner. The Pritikin Eating Plan recommends you eat at least 5 (and preferably many more!) servings of vegetables each day.  Not only are they nutritious, you’ll just naturally eat fewer calories and shed excess weight. This salad recipe is a perfect pairing of both vegetables and fruit.

Ingredients

Base Salad

• ▢ 2 whole carrots - shredded or finely chopped
• ▢ 1/2 whole pineapple - peeled, cored, and diced
• ▢ 2 whole limes - juiced

Optional

• ▢ 1 tablespoon basil - fresh, cut into thin strips

• ▢ 1 tablespoon chives - fresh, chopped or snipped
• ▢ 1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns - freshly ground
