Carrots with Honey & Chilli dressing

I don’t know why, but this salad is also called The Classic Moroccan Salad in this article, from which I’ve been inspired for this recipe. I guess its because of the use of toasted cumin and the raisins in this salad, which are a total hit, by the way!

I first tasted the honey and chilli dressing during a food review I did for Syn and I’ve been itching to try this ever since. The sweet and chilli combination just bursts in your mouth and you will be pleasantly surprised. For this salad , you could you just the honey as a dressing, but I strongly suggest you try this dressing! :-)

Toasted cumin adds character and crunch to this salad and the sultanas I used just deepened the sweet flavour. All in all, this was one heck of a yummy salad which also satisfied by sweet tooth!
