Ingredients
(optional: 1 teaspoon mayonnaise for a creamier consistency)
Preparation procedure
- Sauté the garlic In a pan, heat the olive oil, add the chopped garlic and sauté over low heat for 30–60 seconds, just until it perfumes the kitchen. Do not let it brown.
- Add the carrots Add the grated carrots, lightly sauté them for about 4 minutes so they soften but remain juicy. Let them cool completely. Tip: For a bolder flavor you can add an extra raw clove of garlic to the yogurt.
- Prepare the yogurt base Stir the yogurt with the salt. If it's too thick, loosen it with a little cold water. The result should be a smooth, slightly creamy consistency.
- Combine all ingredients Fold the cooled carrots, sautéed garlic and walnuts into the yogurt. Mix the salad thoroughly.
