Step 2
Peel the carrots and grate them on a medium grater. Sort the raisins to remove any debris, then rinse them. You can soak the raisins for 15–20 minutes to make them softer. Dry them with paper towels and add to the carrots. Add mayonnaise and mix. Do not add too much mayonnaise, as more will be added during cooking.

Grate the cheese on a grater into a separate container. Add garlic pressed through a garlic press, add a little more mayonnaise, and mix everything together.

Now let's work with the beetroot. Peel it and grate coarsely into a separate bowl. For the nuts, I used almonds, hazelnuts, and walnuts. They need to be chopped (you can also use a grater); it's convenient to toast them first in a dry skillet (this makes them easier to peel). Wash the prunes and, if necessary, soak them. Now combine the beetroot, chopped nuts, and prunes. Add a little more mayonnaise and mix everything thoroughly.

Step 5
Layer the salad onto a dish. First comes the layer of carrots with raisins. Next, the cheese-garlic mixture, followed by beets with nuts and prunes. On top, you can additionally garnish with crushed nuts or cheese. In any case, use your imagination and decorate this divine salad however your heart desires!
