Moroccan Carrot Salad

October 8, 2011

Carrots (pre-grated bought OR 6 medium OR 1 lb bag baby carrots)
Garlic (powder to taste OR 1 pressed clove)
Cumin
Honey
Salt
Turmeric
Cinnamon
Cayenne Pepper
Lemon Juice OR Orange Juice
Orange Segments OR Mango Pieces
Olive Oil
Greek Yogurt (optional)

If you have bought pre-grated carrots, cook them. I just zap them in the microwave, but they could also be boiled. If you have a good food processor with a grater attachment, if you have whole carrots, also cook them first and then grate them. I use baby carrots by chopping them in the blender and then zapping them in the microwave. The appearance isn’t as nice, but it’s quick and easy.

Add remaining ingredients and stir. If you like a creamy salad like I do, add a dollop of Greek yogurt. For best flavor, let marinate overnight.
