I love fresh vegetables and serve them with every dinner. You can transform them very easily with few ingredients and different cooking methods. I challenge myself to try to make vegetable fun, like this spiced carrot salad. If you can find carrots in different colors it will make this dish even better.
TIP; I will recommend to always have ground cumin, ground coriander and whole coriander seeds in your pantry.
I use them a lot in my recipes.
