Does anyone know the difference between caraway and cumin seeds, and what names they are sold under? The names are so similar in German I get confused! Deb, despite the fact I haven't yet sorted out the seeds, this salad is very delicious. I have a question for any readers in Germany.

I just made a batch "for dinner" and I'm afraid I'm about 1/3 of the way through it already. I'm firmly of the mindset that harissa makes everything awesome and I don't know why I'd never thought of pairing it with carrots, mint and feta. I'm thinking next time I will toast off some almonds and perhaps toss some raisins or currants into the mix. Delish.

I had it everyday in Northern Africa, and brought back about 5 cans, but it's so hard to find here! Harissa is delicious!

I used already shredded carrots from a bag, since it was a weeknight and I had them on hand. Actually, I only had about 8 oz of carrots, so I chopped up a bunch of spinach and threw that in. De-lish! I think if you shred the carrots yourself, they will soak up the awesome vinaigrette even more, but with pre-shredded carrots it was still excellent. I will definitely be making this again. We had it with Moroccan-spiced burgers served in a pita with a yogurt-tahini sauce and it was a perfect accompaniment. Thanks for the wonderful recipe! This is delicious!

Instead of heating, I simply mixed it up (excluded a few spices) and used it as one of the layers. Adding roasted chickpeas and onions is also tasty!

EVERYONE raves about it. I can't find harissa (haven't looked super duper hard, but you know) and use Thai chili paste instead. I feel like it amps up the tartness of the dressing. I've made it without mint and parsley, and it's not as good, but still delicious. I've made it with lemon from a plastic bottle, and it's not as good, but still delicious. I'm telling you, this carrot salad is a magical, wondrous creation. This is my go-to salad recipe when I’m bored of leaves. EVERYONE raves about it.

Maybe put the feta on at the last minute. A day would be fine. Maybe put the feta on at the last minute.
