Ingredients
- 4 carrots
- 6 radishes (or 4-inch piece daikon radish)
- 1 handful fresh mint leaves
- 1 handful fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 navel oranges
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1 teaspoon orange flower water
- Kosher salt
Instructions
- Slice carrots and radishes as thinly as possible and add to a large bowl. Add mint and cilantro. Remove the peel and pith from the oranges. Working over a bowl to catch the juice, cut between the membranes to remove the orange segments; add them to the carrots. Squeeze the membrane to extract the rest of the juice and add the cinnamon, sugar, lemon juice, orange flower water, and salt, to taste. Mix to dissolve sugar and salt. Pour over the carrot mixture and gently toss to coat. The salad can be served immediately but allowing it to sit for 1 or 2 hours will help the flavors to blend. Just before serving, taste and adjust seasoning.

Reviews
Dishwashing liquid is a very good description of the flavor! Terrible recipe!! Everyone that tried it agreed.
I made this salad to try something new. It sounded great with the ingredients, but it ended up tasting like a really sour mojito mixed with dishwasher liquid. I suspect it might taste better without the mint, and if I were ever to try it again, I’ll do what other reviews said (grate it up and let it rest for a few hours).
I made this salad to accompany a chicken tagine dish. They compliment each other so well. Excellent balance of cool flavors with the rich tagine spices.
it is better to grate the carrots and chop the mint rediculoulsy fine so that everything settles together better.
This was an excellent recipe, but to our taste, it needed much more lemon juice or white balsamic vinegar.
This is wonderful, different than the everyday salad and tastes great.
orange flower water is a must and let it stand at least 2-3 hours @ room temp. also place it in a shallow dish so all the veggies and friut are marinating in the juices.kathy sherman albuquerque,nm
A different but delicious taste.
