Moroccan Carrot Salad

Moroccan Carrot Salad Food52
Blink, a month zoomed by.  The crazy fun intensity of a new gig and suddenly it's mid February.  We've been in a stew, left-over, omelet phase as we navigate new schedules, with nothing terribly inspiring to share. Until now. 

In the Northeast, winter really dug her teeth in and I am finding myself more than a little ready for the change of seasonThis salad is the perfect antidote to these last long few weeks of winter.  Bright, zingy, citrusy... a refreshing alternative to all homey food of late. If you close your eyes, you can almost taste spring.
