How to Make Moroccan Carrot Salad

  1. Peel and shred 1 pound of carrots using a box grater or food processor.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded carrots with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, and 1/4 cup chopped red onion.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 2-4 cloves garlic, minced (adjust to your preference).
  4. Pour the dressing over the carrot mixture and toss to combine thoroughly.
  5. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Let the salad sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Garnish with extra cilantro or toasted slivered almonds, if desired.
