Moroccan salad with carrots and oranges is a vibrant and aromatic dish that embodies the rich traditions of Moroccan cuisine. Its roots trace back to ancient Arab and Berber recipes that combine fresh vegetables, dried fruits, and spices. Crunchy carrots harmonize with the juicy flesh of oranges, while sweet raisins add a subtle caramel note. Pine nuts contribute a nutty richness, and mint adds refreshing lightness. The dressing made from lemon juice, honey, and olive oil balances the flavor with a slight tanginess and gentle sweetness. This salad is perfect as a light summer dish or a side for Eastern meals, delighting not only in taste but also in its colorful palette.
