Best 9 Russian Carrot Mayonnaise Salad Recipes

RUSSIAN CARROT SALAD - KOREISKAYA MORKOVKA

Steps:

• Grate the carrots on a fine julienne grater.
• Slice the onions into half circles. Heat the oil in a large skillet and add the onions. Season with salt to taste. Cook on medium low heat for 7-10 minutes, until the onions are golden brown.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, season the carrots with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Add the sugar, ground coriander, paprika, cayenne pepper and mix to combine.
• Finely mince or press the garlic cloves through a garlic press and place in the bottom of a large bowl. When the onions are cooked, strain the onions through a fine mesh sieve, pouring the hot oil right over the garlic. You can choose to strain out the garlic as well or even add the garlic to the onions during the last 30 seconds of cooking if you want the garlic to have a much more mild flavor in the salad. The other option is to add in the garlic along with the oil to the carrot salad, mixing all the ingredients to combine. The cooked onions will not be used in the salad. Add them to other recipes.
• Store the carrot salad in the refrigerator. You can serve the salad right away, but for the best results, marinate the salad in the refrigerator at least for a few hours or overnight before serving.
• Mix to combine again before serving the salad. Garnish with fresh herbs.
• Store the salad in the refrigerator for up to a week.

RUSSIAN CARROT MAYONNAISE SALAD

Steps:

• Peel/clean your carrots, then grate them. Preferably, they should be grated lengthwise to make longer strands. Mince the garlic cloves finely. Slice the roasted almonds lengthwise. Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix well. Variables - sugar quantity can be adjusted, or sugar can be replaced with dried fruit such as dried cranberries or raisins. Some vinegar or lemon juice can also be added (perhaps one tea spoon) in order to cut the creaminess of the salad and add some zest. If you like heat, add a teaspoon of crushed red pepper.
