### 👩🍳 **How to Make Carrot Mayonnaise**
**Step 1: Cook the Carrots**
Boil or steam the chopped carrots until very tender (about 10–15 minutes). Drain and let them cool for a few minutes.
**Step 2: Blend Until Creamy**
In a blender or food processor, combine the cooked carrots, oil, lemon juice, mustard, garlic (if using), and salt. Blend until smooth. If it’s too thick, add water a tablespoon at a time until it reaches a creamy, spreadable consistency.
**Step 3: Taste and Adjust**
Give it a taste and adjust salt, lemon, or garlic to your liking. For a bit more zing, add a touch more vinegar or mustard.
**Step 4: Store and Serve**
Transfer to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate. It keeps well for up to **7 days** and thickens slightly when chilled.
