Step 1

Add the cashews to a small bowl and cover them with boiling water. Let them soak while you prepare the carrots.

Step 2

Grate or use a food processor to shred the carrots. Add them to a medium salad bowl with the raisins and diced pineapple.

Step 3

Drain the cashews and add them to a blender or small food processor. Add ½ cup of the reserved pineapple juice, 1 tablespoon white balsamic, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and ⅛ teaspoon salt. Blend the dressing until smooth. Add a little more juice or water if it is too thick.

Step 4

Add the dressing to the salad and mix well.
