"This is yummy! Sweet and spicy. Use more pepper flakes if you want it spicier. Serve it either for lunch or a light side dish. This might also be good over brown rice."

I made this salad with Moroccan Chicken Stew #49815 and Moroccan Chickpea Soup #140868 for my dbf's birthday dinner and we loved it. I used the food processor to shred the carrots and it was finished in no time. It tasted different after an hour and after three hours and I can't wait to try it tomorrow. It was easy, healthy and fresh and had a great unique taste that will go great in the future with other ethnic dishes. Thanks for the new salad! -
Another Sassy Saucepan Report from ZWT III - great blend of spices and fabulous color! I used my food processor to do the "shredding" (I cheated just a bit) and this was almost TOO easy. Thanks again, dicentra. -
This was very tasty and fresh! We both enjoyed it with a light lunch. I think next time I will omit the curry powder and add either cumin or coriander powder - or even some ras el Hanout. I also think I might cut back on the olive oil next time, just a bit! I sprinkled finely chopped mint on top which really added a nice flavour to the carrots and spices. Thanks for posting. FT:-)Made for ZWT3.

Ok, so this is something very out of the ordinary for us to prepare. Different in most every way, it was nice for a change. Pretty spicy it was and my dh said it didn't even taste like carrots...which pleased him as he isn't the biggest fan of them unless they're carrot cake. lol Anyways, a good dish when you want something unique and with some heat. Thanks! -
Pretty salad with an interesting blend of spicy and sweet flavors that improve as it sits! We had this as one of the courses of a Moroccan meal. Very easy to prepare and put together! Thank you for posting this!

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
