Carrot Salad With Oregano And Cumin Recipes

Simple, unique, and flavorful is what this Moroccan carrot salad is all about! Tender cooked carrots are tossed with fresh herbs and warm Moroccan spices like cumin and harissa, then dressed in lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil. The final touch, a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds!

These lemony carrots taste lovely just as the recipe is written, perfumed with toasted cumin and coriander, a hint of garlic, and a touch of cayenne. This recipe draws its inspiration from Moroccan carrot salads, many of which use cooked vegetables, but this version uses slivered raw carrots instead. But if you want to splash out, try a pinch of cinnamon, and top with lots of fluffy chopped cilantro and thinly sliced jalapeño. Or add crumbled feta and olives. For the best-looking salad, use the julienne blade of a food processor, or cut the carrots into thin matchstick shapes with a sharp knife. The large holes of a box grater will work, too, but the result won't be quite as attractive. (But avoid those supermarket bags of pre-grated carrots. They're not suitable here.)
