For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of shredded coconut. About ¼ cup should do the trick! Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, depending on the sweetness of your pineapple and raisins. If you don't have fresh lemon juice, bottled lemon juice can be substituted, but fresh is always preferred for the brightest flavor. For a healthier twist, substitute Greek yogurt for some or all of the mayonnaise.
