Moroccan Carrots
I was never a big veggie eater, unless those veggies were smothered in something more palatable like Ranch dressing or honey mustard. When I moved to Austin in 2011, my first roommate introduced me to hummus, and I started using that as a blanket for my veggies instead. It wasn’t until I started the autoimmune protocol the next year that I began experimenting with veggies in the kitchen. These Moroccan Carrots bridge the gap between “raw veggie snack” and “dressed-up veggie side dish” by combining raw shredded carrots with a savory herb dressing inspired by Moroccan marinades. Serve them anywhere you would a salad or just munch on them between meals!
