Raisin Rice And Carrot Salad

A light, refreshing salad from the california raisin website; definintely a make-ahead recipe as it gets better on day 2 and 3. i think it would be grand made with wheatberries and served as a main course! note: i made this using low fat mayo and fat free buttermilk and my dressing was too thin, so i had to add an extra tbsp of mayo to thicken it up. and next time, i will add some apple cut into small matchsticks.

Measure mayonnaise into a medium bowl.
Slowly add buttermilk , whisking until smooth.
Whisk in vinegar and honey.
Stir in rice , carrots , onion , raisins and sunflower seeds if using.

Chill thoroughly , preferably at least 24 hours if possible.
