Carrot and Orange Salad
Description
This is a wonderful fresh-tasting salad with such a fabulous combination of fruit and vegetables that it is difficult to know whether it is a salad or a dessert. The Moroccans would have no such problem as they would eat it by itself at mid-day with a glass of mint tea.
