If you're looking for a quick, yet flavorful salad to complement your meal or serve as a starter, this creamy carrot and cheese salad is a perfect choice. The combination of fresh, crunchy carrots with rich cheese and a creamy dressing will pleasantly surprise you. It's a simple, satisfying dish that even the kids will enjoy.
Peel and wash the carrots thoroughly, then grate them using a medium-hole grater.
Grate the yellow cheese using the same grater.
In a bowl, combine the grated cheese, mayonnaise (or a mix of mayo and 1-2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt), crushed garlic, salt, and ground black pepper.
Stir the ingredients well to combine. Taste and adjust with more mayonnaise, salt, or pepper as needed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to let the flavors blend.
Serve chilled, either on its own with fresh bread or as a side to grilled meats or barbecue.
Feel free to tweak the ratio of carrots to cheese based on your personal taste; this salad remains delicious in any proportion.
Enjoy your meal!
