Moroccan Carrot Salad
Adapted from The Bitten Word, adapted from Food & Wine. We didn't have any Harissa handy, so we improvised. This salad provides a great, bright and spicy contrast to a tagine dish.
For the salad
- 2 cups carrots, shredded or thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 1/4 pound feta, crumbled
For the dressing
- 2 T harissa (see note below)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper
For the harissa, I finely chopped 3 peri-peri peppers, 2 serranos, 2 cloves garlic, and ~10 leaves of fresh mint and made them into a paste in a mortar and pestle with olive oil and a bit of lemon juice. I added chile powder, salt, cumin, coriander, and paprika.
