Background
This spiced carrot salad with raisins goes really well with grilled lamb and chicken - alternatively you can mix it with couscous for a vegan dish. It’s best to make it ahead, even a day before, to allow the flavours to merge well. This salad is perfect for summer garden parties, picnic, barbecues and so on.

- Put a cover on and rest for at lest 30 minutes before serving.
