Carrot, Orange, and Coriander Salad

Each sister was invited to bring a Moroccan/North African themed dish. This recipe is for a salad. The abundance of fresh vegetables in North African Markets gives plenty of variety for salads. As so many of the main dishes are hot and spicy, the coolness of the side salad is very refreshing.

Ingredients (to serve 8):

12 medium sized carrots
finely grated rind of four oranges
4 tablespoons orange juice
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
coriander leaves to garnish

Process:

Grate the carrots into a bowl.
Mix all the remaining ingredients and pour over the carrots, stirring well.
Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with a few coriander leaves
Cover and chill before serving.
