Step 1
Wash and dry the carrots, then grate them into fine pieces. If using a blender, be careful not to over-blend. If necessary, use a knife to chop them further. Add a little salt and mix well with your hands until the salt is fully incorporated. Let it sit for a few minutes, then gently squeeze out some water with your hands.
