Carrot salad with meat - the basic principles of cooking
• To add a special flavor to carrot-to-meat salads, various ingredients are added to them, such as prunes, walnuts, canned vegetables, mushrooms, cheese, and more.
• Use carrots both raw and heat-treated - boiled or fried.
• Very often, for preparing salads from carrots with meat, they take ready-made spicy “Korean” carrots.
• When choosing a carrot, pay attention to its color; the brighter the root crop is, the more sweeter and more nutritious it is. Saturated color indicates a high content of carotene - an extremely useful substance for the human body.
• Take short, thick, cylindrical roots, they are the most juicy.
• Before using, the root crop is well washed under water and cut off the skin, trying to make it as thin as possible, since all the necessary nutrients are just under the outer layer. If the carrot is young and its surface is not replete with irregularities, try it just scrape.
• Meat can be prepared for cooking both fresh and smoked.
• Fresh before use, boil a whole piece, and then cut. Or, first cut and fried with vegetables or without them.
• Carrot salads are good with any kind of meat, but cooked from boiled chicken are considered the most dietary.
• Fill such foods with both vegetable oil and mayonnaise; some types of dressing are not recommended at all, for example, warm or dietary.

• When cooking carrot salad with meat, in the recipe of which nuts are indicated, try replacing walnuts with cedar or roasted peanuts.
• In the water for blanching, or when boiling carrots, put a little sugar, it will turn brighter.
