Moroccan Carrot Salad

Step 1

Slice carrots into uniform sized medallions or rounds. If the carrots are thicker, cut them into half before slicing.

Step 2

Place carrot slices in the top basket of a steamer and steam the vegetable for about 10 to 15 minutes until quite tender but still retaining shape. Make sure they don’t over cook and fall apart.Tip: Alternatively, boil carrot slices in a large pot of salted water for 20 minutes and drain very well.

Step 3

While the carrots are cooking, take a large mixing bowl and whisk olive oil, lemon juice, honey, grated garlic, paprika, sumac, ground cumin, ground coriander, cinnamon or cardamom, black pepper and salt.

Step 4

Then add the warm carrot slices, cilantro, parsley, green onions and toss it all together. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Step 5

Serve the salad warm or at room temperature.
