Boiled carrot salad

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   This salad is most delicious in autumn from fresh carrots. It is juicier, more fragrant and has more vitamins. We will prepare all the necessary ingredients for making a salad of boiled carrots. You can take any vegetable oil according to your taste. I use dried hot pepper, but you can finely chop a fresh pod and add it to taste. Wash and dry the greens.

2. Step 2:

   

   We clean the carrots and wash them. Cut into rings of at least 0.5 centimeters, otherwise it will be overcooked and will be cotton in the salad. I had a thick carrot, so I first cut it lengthwise into two equal parts.

3. Step 3:

   

   Pour 0.5 liters of water into a saucepan and put it on medium heat, bring to a boil and salt. We lower the chopped carrots into the water and cook for 6 minutes.

4. Step 4:

   

   Remove from heat, drain the broth and immediately rinse with cold water. This is necessary so that the carrots stop cooking from the inside and do not become soft. Let the water drain completely and put it in a bowl.

5. Step 5:

   

   Squeeze lemon juice into a bowl with boiled carrots, pour vegetable oil, salt and mix.

6. Step 6:

   

   Sprinkle the salad with ground paprika and mix. Paprika can be taken not only simple, but smoked paprika will fit perfectly here. It will give the salad a light smoky flavor.

8. Step 7:

   

   Add black and hot peppers, mix. Add pepper carefully, especially if it is not powder, but pieces. The salad will be infused in the future and the sharpness will increase.

9. Step 8:

   

   Garlic is cleaned and rubbed on a coarse grater or very finely chopped. Add the garlic to the salad bowl. Garlic can be added less or more, depending on your taste.

10. Step 9:

    

    Finely chop the parsley and put it in a bowl with salad, mix. Instead of parsley, you can take cilantro or dill, all at your discretion.

11. Step 10:

    

    Cover the salad bowl with a film and put it in the refrigerator for two hours so that the salad is infused. We take out the salad, taste it and bring it to the final taste.

    We lay out our carrot salad in salad bowls and serve. Enjoy your meal.
