How to easily make carrot cucumber salad?
Take two medium-sized carrots. Peel the carrots and rinse them under hot water. Then rinse the carrots under cold water. Place the carrots on a cutting board. Also place a medium-sized grater on the cutting board and grate the carrots. Add the grated carrots to the salad bowl.
Take one medium-sized cucumber. Wash the cucumber under hot water, then rinse under cold water. Place the cucumber on a cutting board and cut off both ends of the cucumber. We cut off the ends of the cucumber because they are usually bitter. Once both ends of the cucumber have been cut off, grate the cucumber with a medium-sized grater. Add the grated cucumber to the salad bowl.
Peel one large garlic clove and squeeze the garlic clove into the salad bowl.
Also add half a teaspoon of salt to the salad bowl.
Sprinkle the salad with black pepper.
Add one tablespoon of wine vinegar to the salad.
Also add one teaspoon of soy sauce to the salad.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the salad. You will need 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds.
Once you have added the sesame seeds to the salad bowl, stir all the contents in the bowl.
We are going to make a dressing for the salad. Place a small saucepan on the hob and heat the hob to medium heat. Add 1/5 of a glass of water to the pot.
Add one teaspoon of honey to the pot.
Wait for the honey to melt. Keep stirring the honey in the pot. The honey should dissolve fairly quickly. It will take 1-2 minutes. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the salad dressing pot.
So the dressing is ready to be poured over the salad. Pour the dressing over the salad and mix well.
Once the salad is mixed, sprinkle the salad with fresh sesame seeds again before serving. This will give the salad a particularly nice look and will make it crispier at the same time.

Are carrots dangerous to eat?
Carrots are rich in vitamins and fibre and we believe that carrots should not be harmful to human health. Unless you are allergic to carrots. Then you should decide for yourself whether you should eat carrots or give them up.
Are carrots good to eat raw? When are carrots ready to eat?
Carrots can be eaten raw, cooked or fried. Raw carrots provide the most vitamins and nutrients. Simply shave and wash carrots well before eating. Boiling or frying carrots removes some of the beneficial elements from the vegetable, so if you want the healthiest version of a carrot, eat uncooked carrots.
Is it okay to add a tomato to this carrot cucumber salad?
We don't use tomato in this salad recipe, but if you want even more flavour, you can add tomato to this salad. Simply chop the tomato finely and clean out the inner part of the tomato, which is rich in water. This will keep the salad drier and less wet.
Why carrots go black?
When carrots are left standing for longer periods of time and receive more exposure to air, the normal oxidation process occurs. The carrot slowly begins to rot. As the carrot rots, it becomes darker and darker. However, it does not mean that a carrot cannot be eaten if it has darkened slightly after standing in a salad.
Where does carrot come from?
The carrot is a vegetable that is probably grown in every country in the world. Carrots do not need very warm weather like avocados, bananas or other fruits and vegetables from warm countries. You can therefore buy carrots in almost every country in the world.
What is the carrot cucumber diet?
We believe that a person's diet should be wholesome. Eating carrots and cucumbers alone will not provide you with certain essential elements such as carbohydrates and sufficient protein. On the other hand, carrots are very rich in vitamins and fibre, so if you decide to cleanse your body a little, eat a lot of carrots and cucumbers, which will stimulate your metabolism and provide you with a large amount of the vitamins you need.
