North African Carrot Salad

"Almost anything with feta is good in my book. When I saw this recipe on SmittenKitchen.com I just had to share. Who doesn't need another version of carrot salad? If you don't have harissa at your local market, just make your own: Recipe #10251."

  1. This recipe made a very easy healthy and tasty lunch! I like the combination of flavors and how fresh yet flavorful it was.Thanks! Made for ZWT6 Queens of Quisine!!
     
  2. Wow, loved this little salad, and really loved the harissa in it. I used all the ingredients listed, and I thought the feta was a nice touch. It gave it a nice salty bite and that is what I really liked a lot. YUM, the mint gave it a nice subtle background and wouldn't leave this out at all. All and all a great dish! Made for ZWT6 Zee Zesties!
     
  3. This was very good, with an interesting and delicious combination of spices in the dressing that complemented the carrot. Surprisingly, what I didn't enjoy was the feta (and I love feta anywhere!)...it just didn't seem to gel so well with this particular recipe, and I'll just leave it out next time. Thanks.
