Moroccan carrot salad is proof that the simplest dishes are often the best. Cooked carrots are tossed while still warm with a dressing of lemon, garlic, cumin, and a flick of cayenne, then left to soak up every drop. It shows up at nearly every Moroccan meal, brightening the table next to tagines and grilled meats.
Cool, cumin-scented carrots with a citrus bite
The carrots keep a gentle tenderness with a little bite, and the warm toss means the dressing sinks right in. Cumin gives it that unmistakable Moroccan warmth, while lemon keeps everything fresh and a touch of cayenne sneaks in at the end. Let it sit before serving; patience is the secret ingredient.
