This is my very, very favourite carrot salad, full of Moroccan flavours. I eat it on any occassion, but, according to Mara, it goes very well with Duck..! :-)))

Ingredients
Switch to Cup Measures- 500 grams carrots
- 2 large oranges (skinless, seedless wedges - reserve the juice)
- 125 ml sultanas (optional)
- 1 lemon (juice of)
- olive oil (some)
- salt
- 1 tablespoon icing sugar
- 1 tablespoon orange blossom water
- ground ginger (to taste)
- cumin (to taste)
Method
- Combine the grated carrots with the skinless, seedless wedges of two large oranges (reserve the juice when taking off the skins!) as well as half a cup of golden raisins (optional, I suppose, but I like it!) and then drench the whole in a dressing of the reserved orange juice, the juice of 1 lemon, some olive oil, salt, 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of orange flower water.
- You can also add ginger powder and cumin to taste, if you want to make it a bit spicier.
- Leave it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours or even overnight and the dressing should have imparted its flavour to the carrots in a delicious way!
- I usually top the salad with chopped fresh mint or fresh parsley but this is optional as well. Happy eating!x
