Note:
Eating raw vegetables like carrots is beneficial for our body. Carrots are rich in potassium, phosphorus, and vitamin A. Therefore, they are highly recommended in cases of loss of visual acuity and for the prevention of such diseases. On this occasion, we present a delicious and very easy salad recipe, where we combine the sweetness of carrots with the intense flavor of black olives and capers. Some people use this type of raw salad to accompany meats or fish, but you can also eat it on its own as a fresh and nutritious starter.
Ingredients:
  • 1 large carrot
  • 1 salad tomato
  • 100 grams of black olives
  • 50 grams of capers
  • 1 tablespoon of vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil or sunflower oil
  • Salt to taste
Instructions:

Wash the carrot and the tomato. Grate the carrot into a deep bowl. Cut the tomato into cubes and add it to the carrot. Add the black olives, which can be whole or halved. Then add the well-drained capers. Mix everything together. If you want, you can add other ingredients to your liking, such as finely chopped onion or sweet peppers.

Prepare the vinaigrette in a small glass that you will use. In this case, 3 tablespoons of oil, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Mix well with a teaspoon and add it over the salad. If you want to prepare a more complex vinaigrette that you can use for several salads, you can check our recipe for Vegetable Vinaigrette Sauce.

Let the salad rest in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, so the vegetables can marinate in the dressing. Serve it fresh, preferably in a glass container, to add flavor, textures, and fun colors to your table. Enjoy your meal!
