At home: Stir the lemon zest and sugar into the lemon juice in a pan and
simmer gently until the sugar is dissolved.
Put the carrots and pineapple in a bowl, pour the juice mixture over them, cover the bowl, and marinate for at least 24 hours before drying.
Package the dried mix in zipper lock bags (1/3 cup of dried salad will make side dishes for two people).
Package the almonds separately.
In camp: Add an equal amount of water to each portion of salad (1/3 cup of water to 1/3 cup of salad) and allow to reconstitute for at least half an hour, then add almonds.
