How to Make Luby's Cafeteria Carrot Salad

  1. Wash and peel the carrots. Grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the grated carrots, mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, and salt.
  3. Gently mix all ingredients until thoroughly combined.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The salad tastes even better if chilled for a few hours or overnight!
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving. Add more sugar for extra sweetness, or vinegar for more tang.
