Moroccans are very creative with their salads. There are at least dozens of Moroccan salads recipes and they are all super tasty. One of the most popular recipes is the Moroccan carrot salad, widely known for being spicy and rich in flavors. Luckily, you don’t need to be a chef to cook this delicious treat, it is even easy to make and perfect for beginners.
Moroccan carrot salad is also very popular among vegans who find inspiration in many vegetarian Moroccan dishes. In fact, most traditional Moroccan dishes are healthy, balanced and use great quantities of vegetables. Besides, even if some Moroccan recipes use meat like in the Moroccan tajine and Moroccan couscous, the meat can be easily skipped and the dish will still be delicious and tasty..
Personally, Moroccan carrot salad is one of my favorite Moroccan food. The best part about this dish is that it takes less than 15 minutes of preparation and 40 minutes to be ready. It can also be frozen. So, if you have busy days like me, just prepare a big batch and freeze small portions. Each time you want to enjoy your Moroccan carrot salad, just take as many portions as you need and let them naturally unfreeze for a couple hours at room temperature. You can then slowly warm the carrots in a pan on low heat. And voilà!
