Carrot salad is a classic. How can you enjoy it even more? Just add the right ingredients to it…
In this day and age, when vegetable prices are high, root vegetables – carrots, for that matter – are almost a lottery win. It is crispy, fresh and quite cheap. You can get a kilo of carrots for around thirty crowns, which is even cheaper than, for example, apples…
And then it’s enough to use it correctly. You can crunch it “just like that” for a snack and remember your childhood years when your mother told you that carrots are good for your eyes. But at the same time, you can grate it into spreads, soups, cakes or decorate sandwiches with it.
Get inspired by the author of the video, Martina Jindřichovská, who created an excellent carrot salad. More on the YouTube channel.

Vitamin bomb
In addition to having a fresh, sweet taste, carrots are also low-calorie (contains only
25 kcal per 100 g), so you can enjoy it in abundance. In addition, it also contains carotenoids, which are converted into vitamin A in the body. This protects your eyes from cataracts and night blindness, but also strengthens your immunity.
And that’s not all! Scientists also agree that carrot eaters have a greater resistance to inflammation and infection, so don’t forget to eat plenty of carrots now that inflammation is rampant!
