Healthy Mediterranean Carrot Salad With Golden Raisins And Lime

Instructions

Preparation
Coarsely grate carrots (a food processor fitted with the grating disc works well). Whisk together lime juice, flower water, honey, oil and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Add carrots and raisins; toss well. Cover and chill at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours. Season to taste with a pinch of sea salt, if desired. Serve garnished with yogurt, mint and sunflower seeds.

Substitutions
Dried cranberries may replace the raisins and walnut or avocado oil may replace the olive oil.

Tips
* Look for small bottles of orange flower water (a distillation of bitter orange blossoms) in specialty grocery stores or in Whole Foods markets. The flower water gives the dish a lovely floral scent, but if is unavailable, orange juice may be substituted.
