Step 1:

How do you make a salad with Korean carrots and cheese? Gather the ingredients you'll need. You can make the Korean-style carrots yourself or buy them ready-made. Choose any cheese you like, as long as it grates easily.
Step 2:

The eggs need to be boiled ahead of time. Cover them with cold water, bring to a boil, and cook for 7 to 8 minutes. Drain off the hot water and cool the eggs in cold water, then peel them.
Step 3:

Grate the eggs into a bowl on the coarse side of a grater.
Step 4:

Next, grate the cheese on the coarse side too, straight into the bowl with the eggs.
Step 5:

Drain the liquid from the Korean carrots and add them to the bowl. If you like, chop the carrots a bit finer first. Dress the salad with mayonnaise. For flavor, press in a couple of garlic cloves. Season with salt and ground pepper to taste, keeping in mind that the mayonnaise is already salty. Stir everything together until evenly combined.
Step 6:

The Korean carrot and cheese salad is ready! Transfer it to a bowl and serve. I recommend chilling it a little before serving, so all the ingredients come to the same temperature. Enjoy!

You can find a good recipe for homemade Korean-style carrots separately.
Always wash the eggs before using them — even a shell that looks clean can carry harmful bacteria. It's best to use a food-safe wash and a brush.
It's better to make your own mayonnaise; it'll be tastier and healthier. You can also use sour cream or plain yogurt as the dressing instead of mayonnaise, either on their own or mixed with mayonnaise in any ratio you like — that will cut the calories.
If you need to swap in a different cheese, look up a guide on substituting cheeses in recipes.
