Carrot salad with mayonnaise
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Complexity: reduced
This simple and delicious carrot salad recipe is perfect for any meal, being both healthy and flavorful. Start by peeling the carrots, parsnips, celery and apples. Choose fresh carrots that are sweet and crunchy for best results. Once you've peeled them, grate them, choosing a grater with large holes so that the ingredients turn into a smooth, homogeneous texture.
Once all the vegetables and apple have been grated, add a handful of raisins on top. They'll add a sweet touch, counterbalancing the slightly sour taste of the vegetables.
In a separate bowl, break two yolks, one cooked and one raw. The cooked yolk will provide a creamy texture, while the raw will help emulsify the mayonnaise. Over this, add a teaspoon of mustard, a pinch of salt and the freshly squeezed juice of one lemon. Mix the ingredients well with a wooden spoon or a wooden spoon.
Now it's time to add the oil, but be careful to do it gradually. Start pouring the oil in a thin stream, continuing to stir vigorously. This step is crucial, because if you add the oil too quickly, the mayonnaise runs the risk of cutting. When the mixture becomes creamy and can sit on the spoon without dripping, you have a perfect mayonnaise.
Finally, add the cream, which will add a touch of smoothness and enrich the flavor of the salad. Season with salt and white pepper to taste. Mix the mayonnaise with the vegetables and grated apples, making sure each ingredient is well coated.
Serve the salad chilled, making it ideal for summer meals or as a garnish to various dishes. You can also add some chopped walnuts for extra crunch. This salad is not only tasty but also full of vitamins, making it a perfect choice for the whole family. Enjoy!
