Moroccan Salad of Raw Grated Carrots/Citrus Cinnamon Dressing
By: WiGal
Aug 20, 2008
Recipe comes from Mediterranean Fresh by Joyce Goldstein. Her directions are confusing about the cooking of the carrots. What she exactly writes is "For carrots with a bit more body and texture, you need to cook them briefly, as they are not porous enough to absorb the flavors of a salad dressing. For optimum flavor, dress carrots while they are still warm. You may warm the grated carrots in the dressing or serve as is." I am thinking (big thinker here) maybe 3 minutes? I also think buying those already grated carrots would be mighty handy. Use only 1/4 cup of the dressing, and use the remainder of the dressing for a beet, orange, and greens salad.

This is good! And because it says "raw" in the title (if not the directions), I decided to keep it raw. I just made half the dressing and used all of it and I garnished with sultanas and sliced almonds. Pretty and tasty! Thanks! Reviewed for the Veg*n Recipe Swap.
