Grated Carrot Salad with Orange Blossom
Let me share a family secret with you. A sweet, fragrant salad of finely grated carrots tossed with sugar, lemon juice, and orange blossom water, often served as a palate cleanser. Rooted deeply in our Berber and Andalusian heritage, this is more than just a dish—it's a story told through spices. Trust me, you'll need plenty of crusty bread to soak up every last drop.
