Step by step recipe
- We start with a good base of grated carrots for our salad.
- We are going to add corn in grains, it can be canned or the healthiest and most natural option, boiled and shelled corn. Simply boil the corn in water for 5 minutes and it is ready. Then we cut the grains with a knife.
- We also add boiled and diced beets. First we peel the beets and cut them into cubes, then we boil them until they are cooked. The cooking time varies depending on the size you cut the beets into.
- Add cherry tomatoes or round tomatoes cut into pieces.
- Then add cubes of pategrás cheese or a variety of semi-hard cheese.

Adding some herbs and spices to the shredded carrot salad will give it a unique touch. Try a mix of dried herbs such as basil, oregano, thyme and rosemary.
For a spicy touch, add some chili powder or a few drops of chili oil. If you want a sweet touch, add a little honey. Finally, don’t forget a squeeze of lemon to balance the flavors!
