Moroccan-Style Carrots

This striking Moroccan carrot salad recipe is real crowd-pleaser, it sets a new world record for laughable cheapness, and you can make it in just 10 minutes! Once you've tried this flavorful and memorable dish, you'll never go back to plain old boring cooked carrots.

By my math, this healthy and hilariously easy recipe can be made for as little as 25-30c per serving, proving--for the zillionth time--that healthy and delicious food doesn't have to be expensive.

Normally this is where I'd include my recipe notes: three or four bullet points that explain any subtleties or tricky aspects of the recipe. Not today. Quite frankly, this dish is so easy and so simple that's there's just... nothing to say. Enjoy it.
