The secret of fortune is joy in our hands.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I got lost in the colors of these carrots today. It’s so amazing how roots, grown in dark brown earth, can have such vibrant colors.  One of the joys of being in the kitchen is experiencing the incredible beauty and essence of nature. Of grown things. And somehow, being here, paying attention  to them for just a few moments at the end of the day, refreshes and restores, clearing the mind.

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.

If you can find pomegranate vinegar, use it. If not use red wine vinegar. This was at Trader Joe’s.
Fresh mint gives this delicious flavor. So very Moroccan!
