Boiled carrot salad

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 25 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a salad from boiled carrots? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. This salad tastes best in the fall from fresh carrots. It is more juicy and aromatic. You can use any vegetable oil of your choice. I use dried hot pepper, but you can finely chop a fresh pod and add it to taste.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the carrots with a brush under running water, peel and rinse. Cut into rings of at least 0.5 centimeters, otherwise it will be overcooked and will be wadded in the salad. My carrot was plump, so I first cut it lengthwise into two equal parts.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour 0.5 liters of water into a saucepan and place over medium heat. Bring to a boil, add salt. Place the chopped carrots in the water and cook for about 6 minutes. Check the readiness of the carrots by piercing a piece with a sharp knife; it should easily pierce the vegetable. How to choose the perfect pan, read the article, the link is at the end of this recipe.

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 too soft. Let the water drain completely and transfer it to a bowl.

5. STEP 5

   

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

6. STEP 6

   

   Sprinkle the salad with ground paprika and stir. You can use not only plain paprika, but smoked paprika will also fit perfectly here. It will give the salad a light smoky flavor.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add black and hot peppers to the salad to taste, stir. Add pepper carefully, especially if it is not powdered, but pieces. The salad will continue to infuse and the spiciness will intensify. You can use your other favorite spices if you wish.

8. STEP 8

   

   Peel the garlic and grate it on a fine grater or chop it with a knife. Add the garlic to the bowl with the salad. You can use less or more garlic, depending on your taste.

9. STEP 9

   

   Wash the parsley in running water, dry, chop finely and place in a bowl with the salad, stir. Instead of parsley, you can take cilantro or dill, it's all up to you.

10. STEP 10

    

    Cover the bowl with the salad with cling film and put it in the refrigerator for two hours to let the salad steep. Take out the salad, taste, add salt, sugar or other spices if necessary, and finish the salad to its final taste.

11. STEP 11

    

    Arrange our salad of boiled carrots with garlic in salad bowls, garnish with herbs if desired and serve. Bon appetit!

I made this salad out of interest, I always made it from raw carrots, but here it’s boiled. I cooked the carrots as written, six minutes after the water boiled. Then I drained the water and left the carrots in a sieve to let the water drain. I added the dressing ingredients all at once, I don’t think there’s much difference. I didn’t use chili; the dressing was spicy enough in my opinion) The salad sat in the refrigerator overnight and before dinner. The consistency of the carrots remained slightly harsh and crunchy. The taste is sharp, the lemon is a little sour, but everything is balanced. The only thing is that I’m not a fan of boiled carrots; they have a specific taste. But my husband liked it. Moreover, he came from the street, was cold, and here was a “warming” salad) In general, lovers of boiled carrots will like it, it will be very relevant during Lent.

And the salad is very tasty! And without any diet. I love vegetables. Cooking time generally depends on whether you have boiled carrots or whether you need to cook them

So, it has already been proven (I was surprised myself) that boiled carrots are healthier than fresh ones! I'm on a diet, I'll definitely make this salad! I'll just add lemon instead of vinegar.
