Carrot-Raisin Salad with Argan-Lime Dressing Recipe
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- 8 ounces mini peeled carrots
- 2 tablespoons argan oil [1]
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- Pinch kosher salt
- Freshly ground pepper
Put raisins in a 2-cup measuring cup, add water to cover raisins by an inch, and microwave for 1 1/2 minutes on high. When done, remove cup from microwave and set raisins aside to plump for 5 minutes.
While raisins are plumping, grate carrots in a food processor. Dump grated carrots into large salad bowl. Add oil, lime juice, a pinch of salt and pepper. When raisins are done plumping, drain them (they will be nicely wrinkled!) and add to the carrot mixture.
Toss with two spoons until well combined, and serve.
Serves 4.
