This Moroccan Carrot Salad is one of my favorite, flavor-packed side dishes for summertime potlucks, barbecues and parties. Loaded with garlic, parsley and cumin, you can make them ahead and serve them room temperature or chilled.

Ingredients

  • 5 cups peeled and chopped carrots
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 1 cup chopped parsley

Directions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add carrots and cook until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain well.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile peel and roughly chop garlic. Sprinkle with salt and chop and mash with the side of a chef’s knife to form a smooth paste. Scrape garlic into a large mixing bowl. Whisk in vinegar, oil and cumin.

  3. 3

    Stir hot carrots into the dressing. Add parsley and stir to coat. Serve room temperature or chilled.
