Ingredients
1 lb
carrots, peeled and shredded
1
jalapeño pepper, seeded and thinly sliced into rings
5 tbsp
fresh lemon juice
Sprinkle of sumac, if desired
Moroccan carrot salad—cooked carrot coins tossed with harissa—is better known, but this one is easier, crunchier, and more refreshing—a welcome counterpart to richer salatim. Feel free to use limes instead of lemons, but make sure to use the firmest carrots you can find. If you have a julienne peeler it will make gorgeous carrot ribbons, but a plain old box grater will do.
Directions
- Toss the carrots, jalapeños, and lemon juice in a large bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with sumac, if using.
