I like this recipe and I didn't even cook it! I had shredded about 7 large carrots with my food processor and need a recipe. I took all the other ingredients and mixed them together and poured it over the uncooked carrots. I did make a few changes to suit my tastes. 1) I used Chiptole Chile powder 2) I only used 1 Tbsp of oil 3) I added 1/3 cup of raisins. I can't wait to try the original version of this! Thanks Mrs.B!Reply

Very easy salad to make and a beautifully coloured dish for your table. Would be great as part of a mezze spread. These carrots have a unique flavour compared to most, almost floral in some ways. I just felt it was a touch unbalanced but nevertheless I would try it again, making a few more adjustments to give this a bit more punch. Maybe reverse the amounts of cinnamon and chili powder or cut down on the cinnamon and add more lemon juice.Reply
