  5. In a large bowl, whisk together the reconstituted milk, salad dressing, sugar, and salt until smooth.
  6. Add the prepared carrots and drained pineapple to the dressing mixture.
  7. Toss gently to coat all vegetables and fruit evenly with the dressing.
  8. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 to 3 hours to allow flavors to meld.

  11. Serve chilled on individual lettuce leaves or in a large serving bowl.
