Moroccan Carrot Salad by Liz Rueven
Serves 4
This salad is vegan, pareve (non-dairy) and raw.
Use farm-fresh carrots for the most delicious flavors in this healthy and addictive salad. If you can find sunny yellow and bright fuchsia carrots in addition to the more expected orange, it’s even more beautiful. Feel free to play with favorite spices here. If you don’t like one of these, just leave it out, taste and adjust.
