I make a really simple shredded carrot salad with pineapple, but just kind of dump in stuff, so you will have to work out exact amounts. First I shred carrots in my food processor. It looks like about 2-3 cups for the two of us. Then I add fine minced sweet onion (maybe 1-2 tablespoons.) I drain a small can of chunk pineapple and add it, but I save the juice. I add a handful or two of raisins or craisins if I have them. For dressing I mix together mayo, several tablespoons of orange marmalade and then thin it with the pineapple juice or orange juice and some milk if it needs to be creamier. I mix in dressing an hour or so before we eat so it can meld together with carrots etc. Sometimes I add just a little salt if it needs it. I kind of do this by taste, so you will have to improvise.
