This tangy and simple dressing is the perfect compliment to the sweetness of carrots in this Spiced Carrot Salad, making it a great appetizer or side dish.

Carrots are one of those vegetables that I always have in the fridge, they are cheap to buy and convenient to use. I probably bought carrots on a weekly basis for about 5 years straight when I was learning to eat better. I am certainly a woman of routine, so during those days I ate carrots and hummus as an afternoon snack every single day. Looking back it seems kinda crazy, but at the time keeping things simple and convenient is what kept me on track and I often encourage my clients to do the same. However, after many years of consistency, I finally got to a place where I felt I could give myself some leeway and mix things up without making poor food choices.  After all, there are only so many snacks of carrots and hummus a girl can eat! Fortunately for me, carrots are an incredibly versatile vegetable that works well in anything from savoury to sweet dishes, like my No-Bake Carrot Cake Energy Bites or Balsamic Roasted Carrots, so I had lots of options to choose from.

This Spiced Carrot Salad is sweet, fresh and fragrant with a little touch of spice to keep people guessing. It pairs really well with any grilled meat or as a simple afternoon treat.
