Carrot salad with walnuts

20 minutes

Carrot salad with walnuts is a simple yet exquisite dish of Russian cuisine that captivates with its harmony of flavors. Sweet juicy carrots, refreshed by drops of lemon juice, acquire a slight tanginess, while the addition of sugar and salt balances the taste, making it rich. Walnuts, known for their rich and slightly bitter flavor, add textural complexity and nutty depth to the salad. Parsley completes the composition by bringing freshness and aroma. Despite its simplicity, this salad symbolizes home comfort; it is often prepared as a light snack or side dish to main courses. It pairs well with meat and vegetable dishes and serves as a source of vitamins and beneficial microelements that support health and provide enjoyment.
