Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make a classic Ginger salad with carrots and cheese? Prepare all the necessary ingredients according to the list. Choose a carrot for this salad fresh, juicy, bright orange, large size or two medium. Use high-quality processed cheese.
Step 2:
Wash the carrots well under running water. Peel with a vegetable peeler. If the carrot is young, it is not necessary to clean it, the main thing is to thoroughly wash it with a stiff brush. I grated a carrot on a grater in Korean. You can grate on a large or medium-sized grater. It doesn't matter.
Step 3:
Put the processed cheese in the freezer in advance for half an hour. Thanks to this, it will rub better. Grate it also on a large or medium-sized grater.
Step 4:
Peel the garlic clove from the husk. Rinse, dry with napkins. Grate on a fine grater or pass through a press. By the way, you can increase the amount of garlic to your liking.
Step 5:
In a suitable container, transfer the grated carrots, melted cheese, crushed garlic. Add a couple of tablespoons of mayonnaise. It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself, it will be healthier and tastier. You can replace it with sour cream or natural thick yogurt and the dish will turn out to be less high-calorie. Add salt to taste. The amount of salt will depend on what you decide to fill the salad with. If sour cream or yogurt, then more salt will be needed.
Step 6:
Mix the salad and dressing thoroughly. Done.
Step 7:
Now proceed to the salad decoration. You can simply put it in a salad bowl or portioned cremans and serve it to the table. I used the cooking ring, so the dish will look neater and more elegant. Place the cooking ring on a flat plate, put the salad in it, level its surface with a spoon. Put the salad in the refrigerator for 1 hour. During this time, it will be well soaked.
Step 8:
After an hour, remove the salad from the refrigerator. Carefully remove the cooking ring. Decorate at your discretion. For example, parsley, dill, lettuce leaves. Ginger salad is self-sufficient and does not need an addition. But if you need a more satisfying option. Serve it with boiled pasta, mashed potatoes. It is perfect as an accompaniment to meat.
Ginger salad can be supplemented, for example, with canned corn, boiled chicken eggs, boiled chicken or turkey, boiled or smoked sausage, fried or pickled mushrooms. It is very tasty to add chopped walnuts.
Prepare salads only from fully chilled foods. Cooked from warm, the salad can quickly deteriorate.
It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See the interesting ones here

Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
