Moroccan carrot salad

This Moroccan carrot salad made a regular appearance on my mother’s table. It is garlicky, vinegary, and simply delicious. Super easy to make and adds richness and color to any table.

Shopping list

  • 8 carrots

  • 2 garlic cloves

  • Harissa hot sauce

  • 1 teaspoon of cumin

  • Olive oil

  • Parsley (optional)

Recipe

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and add peeled carrots. Lightly cook the carrots until tender- you do not want them to break apart when mixing. Drain and cool before cutting into ¼ thick slices. In a mixing bowl, add the chopped fresh garlic, Harissa hot sauce, cumin, oil, and parsley. Mix well so the carrots get evenly coated. Add paprika, cumin and/or chili pepper flakes for garnish and taste.
