The vegetable is an ingredient in many delicious salads, so you need to know how to prepare it properly.

Experienced housewives highlight several common methods, which have their pros and cons.

Most often, carrots for salads are boiled, as this method is considered classic. But it has a significant disadvantage: carrots cease to be rich, since the brightness of taste qualities is lost.

Others use a steamer or even a microwave, but the taste of the vegetable will still be much to be desired.
