Awww, how sweet! I don't make carrot salad, I only eat it at parties.
Have you considered carrot soup? How about a carrot cake recipe?

Unfortunately my ability to Google for the original Del Monte recipe
is very poor, so I can't give you a URL to it. This is what's written
on a file card - it's the original recipe with my coconut and raisin
twist.

Carrot Cake

2C flour
2C sugar
3 eggs
1C oil
1 small can (?oz) crushed pineapple (or ½ C applesauce - not original)
1t baking soda
2t cinnamon
1t salt
2t vanilla
2C shredded carrot
2C chopped walnuts
1C raisins
1C coconut

Mix all ingredients together and pour into a greased and floured
rectangular cake pan or 3 well buttered and floured 8 inch round cake
pans.

Bake at 350° for 55 minutes.

Frosting

4T soft butter
one 8 oz. package cream cheese (softened)
3C sifted powdered sugar
1t vanilla
1/2t lemon juice (optional)

Using a hand held beater, blend the butter and cream cheese.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the vanilla.
