In Morocco, when temperatures soar, this refreshing dish is often served to help combat the heat at the beginning of a meal. The crispy carrots and sweet orange juice work to cleanse the palate and refresh the senses before enjoying heartier dishes. Beyond this dish’s refreshing qualities, its vibrant flavors and simple preparation make it perfect for summertime gatherings or as a light snack any time of year. Although the dish is referred to as a salad, its light consistency is closer to a chilled soup due to the orange juice. Make sure the shredded carrots and the orange juice are both chilled before mixing them with the rest of the ingredients, and chill the serving bowls too, if you like.
