Carrot, Feta and Pistachio Salad with Orange Blossom Toss
The flavors of cumin, cardamom, chili, orange blossom water and honey combine to create a light yet complex flavor profile, and the creaminess of the feta, the freshness of the mint and the crunch of the pistachio give this dish the perfect contrast of textures.

Use a vegetable peeler, mandoline, or spiralizer to slice the Carrots (10) into long, thin strips.
