This Southwest-inspired salad is not your everyday carrot-raisin salad. Herb enthusiasts might enjoy using fresh pineapple mint in this dish.
4 medium carrots, shredded (2 1/2 cups)
3/4 cup finely chopped pineapple
1/3 cup nonfat plain yogurt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
3 cups bite-size pieces leaf lettuce (1/2 large head)
Mix all ingredients except lettuce in glass or plastic bowl. Cover and refrigerate about 2 hours or until chilled. Serve on lettuce.
