This healthy Moroccan Carrot Salad pairs with so many dishes, it’s a great side dish for a BBQ but also presents well served for a more formal meal. I love this salad with lamb burgers.
It’s a quick and easy salad to make that’s packed with lots of flavour and different textures. Best of all this salad is packed with beta carotene, fibre, vitamin K1, potassium and antioxidants.
