Carrot salad with mint and sweet spices!

Is so good, so fragrant and so pretty it could almost double as dessert. Not your same old carrot salad, that I can tell you!

The magic of Moroccan ingredients:

Dates, mint, orange flower water: Yum! No wonder we ate our veggies growing up!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pitted dates, packed, chopped fine
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons orange flower water
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pound carrots (about 8 medium), grated fine (use the food processor)
  • ¼ cup mint leaves, packed, sliced very thin

Instructions

Combine the first set on ingredients in a bowl, making sure the dates are thoroughly immersed. Let the mixture soak about 15 minutes. Add the carrots and the mint, and toss. Serve at room temperature.
