MOROCCAN RAW CARROT SALAD



Moroccan Raw Carrot Salad image

Carrot salads are a relatively new dish, especially raw ones. Until well into the twentieth century, most Europeans ate only cooked carrots, primarily in stews and soups. In the Middle East, people also used them as a component of cooked dishes, but sometimes added grated or minced raw carrots as a minor ingredient to various salads.

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 -4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 -4 garlic cloves, mashed
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon sumac
1 pinch salt
about 1/2 teaspoon harissa (or 1 tablespoon minced green chilies, or 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne(I used cayenne because I didn't)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days to allow the flavors to meld. Served chilled or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of carrots. Different types of carrots, such as rainbow carrots or purple carrots, can add a pop of color and flavor to your salad.
  • Don't overprocess the carrots. Grating or shredding the carrots by hand will give them a better texture than using a food processor.
  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, will add a bright, flavorful touch to your salad.
  • Don't skimp on the spices. The spices in this recipe are what give it its Moroccan flavor. Be sure to use a good quality cumin, coriander, and paprika.
  • Let the salad marinate. Marinating the salad for at least 30 minutes will allow the flavors to meld together.
