"When you think about what inspires a Chick-fil-A craving, you'll probably picture an original chicken sandwich with a side of waffle fries and that famous lemonade. They're the most popular menu items, after all, but sometimes the thing that speaks the loudest is what isn't there. Because if you dig through social media, you'll still see people pining for a simple side that's been missing for over a decade. And the side in question is none other than Chick-fil-A's carrot raisin salad."
"The good news, though, is that Chick-fil-A knows how to ease the heartbreak that accompanies certain items leaving its menu, as the company has released the recipes for discontinued fan favorites like its coleslaw and chicken salad. So it makes sense that the company also dropped the carrot raisin salad recipe, and the best part is that all it takes is some shredded carrots, raisins, mayonnaise, sugar, lemon juice, and pineapple - plus a few minutes of your time."
Carrot raisin salad was a staple Chick-fil-A side for about four decades and exemplified a classic Southern, lighter salad option. The item was discontinued in 2013, prompting continued customer nostalgia and social media requests for its return. The salad combined shredded carrots, raisins, mayonnaise, sugar, lemon juice, and pineapple to create a sweet, tangy, and vegetable-forward side. The company has made recipes for discontinued favorites publicly available, and the carrot raisin salad recipe calls for shredding carrots, squeezing fresh lemon juice (keeping the juice and removing seeds), and using crushed pineapple with its original liquid.
