This simple Moroccan Carrot Salad is a joy to make. Shave colorful carrots into paper thin ribbons, using a vegetable peeler. Let this be the one time today, that you don’t rush. Think of each carrot as a precious little life. Honor them. Dress them with fragrant, floral pomegranate vinegar, a little olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss in fresh mint, crushed roasted pistachios and chopped scallions and chill until ready to serve. The vinaigrette tenderizes the carrots gently, while still leaving them a little crunchy. Vegan, raw, and gluten free – this salad is not only tasty, it’s healthy and refreshing.
It’s easy to make carrot ribbons using a simple veggie peeler. Or feel free to use a mandolin.
So pretty and delicious!
