Carrot Salad

Drawing of Carrot Salad

 

I learned this recipe from my friend, who taught me how to prepare the “Pescado in Sharmila”.  I saw different recipes related to this dish on the internet. Nevertheless, the recipe I am offering you here is unique, because of the way I prepare it, and the ingredients I am using. This salad is very special and maybe different from others you may have seen.
