This healthy Moroccan Carrot Salad pairs with so many dishes, it’s a great side-dish for a BBQ but also presents well served for a more formal meal. I love this salad with lamb burgers.

It’s a quick and easy salad to make that’s packed with lots of flavour and different textures. Best of all this salad is packed with beta-carotene, fibre, vitamin K1, potassium and antioxidants.
