Moroccan Carrot Salad

The Wolfert recipe has grated carrots. I love the long strands like your picture. The whole idea of a grated carrot salad seems to be fairly common, although I missed it until fairly recently. There's also a classic French salad similar to this, with a lemon-based vinaigrette, no sugar, and sometimes orange segments and fine onion strips.

Oh - interesting! When I hear carrot salad, I think of the mayo-laden grated carrots with raisins, not my favorite. But I'm trying to eat more seasonally, and so I'm going to try to test a slew of carrot salads. Kaye, I'd love to have you join me in the quest for an awesome carrot salad (the <a href="http://www.cookbooker.com/recipe/25208/belarussian-carrot-salad">Belarussion carrot salad</a> was awesome).

Oh, I'd forgotten grated carrots and raisins -- I think I blocked that one! Not a favorite. I also regularly use two recipes from Madhur Jaffrey's <a href="http://www.cookbooker.com/title/2381/madhur-jaffreys-indian-cooking">Indian Cooking</a>, <a href="http://www.cookbooker.com/recipe/986/gujerati-carrot-salad">Gujerati Carrot Salad</a> and <a href="http://www.cookbooker.com/recipe/988/carrot-and-onion-salad">Carrot and Onion Salad</a>. The first is really easy; the second is a bit more work (preparing and parboiling the carrots), but we probably like it better. (Although, I was just thinking that a fat julienne on the the mandoline might work for this.)
