Salad with radish and carrot

Ingredients for making salad from radish and carrot.

I take a bright and sweet carrot. After washing the carrot from dirt, I thinly peel it. After rinsing the vegetable with clean water again, I grate it.

For the salad, I take black radish. I wash the radish under a stream of water. After peeling the radish, I cut the peeled root into thin slices. Then I soak the radish pieces in cool water for 30 min. This is done to remove the bitterness from the vegetable. If the radish is not bitter, it is not necessary to soak its slices in water. For example, watermelon radish and daikon radish do not need this, as they do not have such a pronounced sharpness.

After removing the radish slices from the water, I place them in a strainer to drain excess water, and then I put them in a salad bowl with the carrot.

After peeling the onion from the skin, I cut it into thin feathers. I pour boiling water over the chopped onion for a few minutes. Then I take the onion out of the water. I get rid of the excess moisture by placing the onion slices in a strainer.

I sprinkle the onion feathers from the strainer into the salad bowl. I mix all the ingredients in the salad bowl, adding salt and vegetable oil.

The vegetable salad with radish and carrot should be served immediately, as the vegetable slices have the tendency to drain quickly. I transfer the salad to a serving plate and decorate it with tomatoes on top. It is necessary to take small tomatoes for the salad. Cherry tomatoes are perfect. I cut the small cherry fruits into 4 parts and place them on the serving plate on top of the salad.
