Excellent side dish that is even better made in advance and served at room temperature. My dinner guests had healthy seconds. I served this with CL's Moroccan Chicken Thighs and couscous for a great Moroccan meal!
Carrots with Paprika and Capers
Like most Moroccan salads, this can be made up to a day ahead and chilled. For the best flavor, bring it back to room temperature before serving.
