Havuc Salatasi~Carrot Salad


My friend Hatice made this dish for me and another girl friend Tuba. We loved it. It was so delicious. The garlic with the yogurt. We practically ate a whole loaf of bread because we couldn't stop eating it. Hatice says she gets this recipe from her sister-in-law in Turkey. I know you will love this!

Recipe:

2 large carrots grated
4 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup whole milk plain yogurt
2 cloves of garlic
1 tsp of dried mint

What to do:
Put your oil in a pan. (don't use non stick) Prepare and wash carrots, shred and place in pan. Cook carrots until their color changes and becomes cooked through. Close heat and prepare your garlic and yogurt by mincing 2 cloves of garlic then mixing them together. After Carrots have cooled, spread yogurt on top and sprinkle with mint. This dish can be prepared ahead of time and served with warm crusty bread. Afiyet olsun!
