This salad is very easy and delicious. It went so well with the rice and chicken kabobs we served it with for dinner.

I have to update my rating on this one - I can't believe I only gave 3 stars the first time around. This time I made sure to use fresh flat leaf parsley and I had a fresh bottle of red wine vinegar - maybe that made the difference. I also measured the cumin a little bit on the scant side since the first time I felt it was a bit overpowering. Anyway - I will definitely be making this again - I think I need to double it so there are some leftovers next time.

Great flavor! I liked that the flavors were not too strong; I actually got DSs to eat the carrots! I did serve them a little warm not at room temp and they were great. Made for ZWT 9.

We really liked this salad. The flavors weren't overpowering, so it was easy to serve it with something a little heavier on the spice. This is definitely going into our rotation for a change of pace when it comes to carrots. Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT9.

Very nice recipe! It was easy to prepare and looks very pretty. The flavors didn't come through as much as I thought they would. I'll make it again with just a little tweaking. Thanks for sharing. Made for ZWT 6.
