GRATED CARROT SALAD WITH DATES AND ORANGES

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine the carrots and dates.
• Whisk together the lemon juice, orange juice, salt, cinnamon and olive oil. Toss with the carrots.
• Remove the peel and pith from one of the oranges. Cut the sections away from between the membranes, holding the orange above the bowl to catch juice. Cut the orange sections into halves or thirds, depending on the size, and toss with the carrots. Transfer to a platter or a wide bowl.
• Slice the remaining orange or oranges into thin rounds. Cut the rounds in half, and arrange in an overlapping ring around the carrots. Sprinkle a little more cinnamon over the carrots and oranges, and serve.

MOROCCAN CARROT-BLOOD ORANGE SALAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees.
• Quarter the carrots lengthwise and cut each length crosswise into 2-inch chunks. With a mortar and pestle or using the side of a knife, lightly crush the cumin, coriander and fennel. Spread carrots on a large rimmed baking sheet and toss with 2 tablespoons oil, crushed spices, 3/4 teaspoon salt and cayenne. Transfer to oven and roast, tossing occasionally, until carrots are tender and caramelized, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, grate zest of 1 orange into a small bowl. Whisk in garlic, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and lemon juice. Whisk in 2 tablespoons oil.
• Slice the tops and bottoms from each orange. Stand each orange on a flat surface and slice away the rind and pith, top to bottom, following curve of the fruit. Hold oranges over a large bowl and slice away fruit between the membranes, releasing segments into the bowl.
• Toss carrots, arugula and olives into the bowl. Gently toss in dressing. Taste and add more salt and lemon juice if necessary.

MOROCCAN CARROT SALAD WITH ORANGE AND MINT

Steps:

• Add the olive oil, cinnamon, cumin, salt, pepper, honey, and orange juice into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use a wire whisk to blend well, until the salt is dissolved. The dressing will be a dark brown color because of the cumin and cinnamon.
• Taste the dressing with a fork and adjust the ingredients if you want it a little more sweet (honey) or fruity (orange juice).
• Add the shredded carrots and fresh orange pieces and stir with a rubber spatula to blend the salad.
• Top with fresh mint leaves before serving.

MOROCCAN ORANGE-BLOSSOM SCENTED CARROT SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil over high heat.
• While you're waiting for your water to boil, Stir together 1 tsp of the orange blossom water and all other ingredients except for the carrots and parsley in a medium mixing bowl. Set dressing mixture aside.
• Once your water is at a full rolling boil, add the carrots and cook until tender but still a bit crisp (I'm guessing about 10 minutes for this, because the carrots are so thin, but you'll have to check them as they cook so you don't end up with mushy carrots). When the carrots are done to your liking, drain them and add them to the dressing bowl, tossing to coat thoroughly. At this point, if you can fit the mixing bowl in your freezer, do so. If, like me, you can't even fit a cereal bowl in your freezer, dump the dressed carrots into a large freezer bag and seal tightly (don't want your freezer smelling like Moroccan dressing, even if it does contain orange blossom water!), and place in the freezer.
• Allow the mixture to chill for about 15 to 20 minutes, tossing once or twice. Remove from the freezer and pour into a serving bowl if using a freezer bag.
• Toss mixture once more with the remaining orange blossom water. Salt to taste, if desired (if you salted your water enough for the carrots, you may not need any additional salt).
• Serve either slightly chilled or at room temp, sprinkled with the parsley.
