RUSSIAN CARROT MAYONNAISE SALAD

Steps:

• Peel/clean your carrots, then grate them. Preferably, they should be grated lengthwise to make longer strands. Mince the garlic cloves finely. Slice the roasted almonds lengthwise. Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix well. Variables - sugar quantity can be adjusted, or sugar can be replaced with dried fruit such as dried cranberries or raisins. Some vinegar or lemon juice can also be added (perhaps one tea spoon) in order to cut the creaminess of the salad and add some zest. If you like heat, add a teaspoon of crushed red pepper.
