carota/carrot
This month's WTSIM theme is salad and its hosted by Andrew at Spittoon. I decided on a carrot salad with a middle eastern flavor.It's a light salad with a flavor tha packs a punch...and will go well pork, lamb, etc. Enjoy!
Carrot Salad for 2
Salad
3 medium carrots, shredded
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin matchsticks
½ cup olives, chopped
Dressing
½ cup fresh squeezed orange juice
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. honey
¼ tsp. cumin
¼ tsp. cinnamon
salt/pepper to taste
(dash of red pepper flakes if you want some heat)
In a medium bowl, toss together the vegetables. In a separate, small bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients. Toss with the vegetables and let marinate for at least an hour for the flavors to marry.
I am guest-hosting the Apple & Thyme event this month. Check out here, here, or here for details. The deadline is March 20th.

I like this salad, Chris, and the dish is so cute!
I haven't had carrot salad in years. Those are the cutest plates.
that's a yummy-looking salad, but i'm totally distract by the plate - i love it!
Wow, that looks fantastic! I have a couple of very lovely lamb chops I've been thinking about making, and this is just the right side...
Great entry! I love the plate! Any time you want to bring the salad down to Charleston, I have the perfect bowl and napkins for it!
I'll bring roast chicken, Chris!! Great salad! I have to pass the event this month, sadly saying. I always like WTSIM.
that dressing sure does sound tasty; one to try very soon me thinks!
Thanks for taking part in Waiter.
Mmm...the spice combo sounds lovely! Quite a long way from the carrot salad my mom made when I was growing up. Beautiful presentation, too.
