How to Make Moroccan Orange And Carrot Salad

Peel and finely grate 1 pound of carrots.
Peel 3 medium oranges, removing all pith. Segment the oranges into 1/2-inch pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the grated carrots and orange segments with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tablespoons orange flower water, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, and a pinch of salt. Gently toss to combine.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or longer, for even better flavor development) to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled. Garnish with extra cilantro sprigs and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
