Carrot Salad with Harrisa, Mint, and Feta
This carrot salad is awesome – the spicy harissa, cool mint, acidic lemon, and creamy feta all balance each other well. I didn’t think of it when I made this salad, but I plan on adding some golden raisins next time I prepare this because the sweetness should be a great addition!
