This is adapted from Claudia Roden's "The New Book of Middle Eastern Food". I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor combos. It tastes like a very fresh carrot cake without all the work...and it's healthy!

A delicious rendition of carrot salad. Since my golden raisins were rather fresh and plump I was able to skip the first step and proceed from there. Decided to follow your suggestion and made the curls. Not only are the pretty they maximized the surface and let the carrots fully absorb the spices and citrus. My cinnamon and ginger were recently purchased in the spice markets of old Fez which only added to the nostalgic feelings evoked for me. I thought a touch of cumin would have been a welcome addition and given the salad a little contrast to the sweetness. Thank you for a wonderful lunch.

    This is very tasty, I would definately say to squeeze out any excess moisture in the shredded carrots which is what I did to avoid a watery salad, next time think I will finely chop instead of grate the carrots even with removing the excess moisture it was still a little watery, the flavor is wonderful, I omitted the raisins as I did not have any, thanks for sharing Engrossed!

    Delicious salad! I followed the recipe as written, even used the orange juice to soak the raisins. All the flavours went well together and they didn't overpower each other. Thank you Engrossed for a healthy salad

    This was very good. The orange soaked raisins is a must. The salad was made as suggested using my vegetable peeler. The carrot ribbons make a very attractive side dish.
