This salad is great! I generally dislike carrots, but loved this salad. I only boiled the carrots and garlic for a minute or two and combined the vinegar with lemon juice, but otherwise followed the recipe. Will make many more times!

Very good and very different. I did use fresh lemon juice and also added Kosher salt.

Very tasty carrots. I do think next time I will use lemon juice instead of the vinegar. Love the cumin and cilantro Made for Pac fall 2009

This recipe has a very light and refreshing flavor. It leaves your tastes buds clean, you can't even tell there is olive oil in there it's so non-greasy! We really enjoyed it. I used a Mandolin to slice the carrots. I also made half a recipe, when I converted half a recipe to US measurements I ended up with about 2 cups of carrots which was more than enough for both of us! I even have some for lunch today! HOORAY! 10 minutes was the perfect amount of time to cook the carrots they were soft but not squishy excellent consistency! Thank you so much for this recipe! :UPDATE: I ate it cold the next day for lunch it's good hot or cold!! :yummy:

Wonderful carrots. I love this recipe. These are so spicy and flavorful. These are great for dieters and keep well in the fridge for a few days. A winner!
