    Rosh Hashanah is this week! Like most holiday celebrations this year, it will probably be a small festivity with no guests or many family members thanks to COVID-19 but, it's still a celebration!

    If you are looking for an exciting new salad to add to the table or are in need for a dish with carrots because it's one of the holiday simanim (symbols), I have a simple and rather quick salad for you!

    Cooked Carrot Salad in a bowl

    This salad is known also as Moroccan Carrot Salad but this time I didn’t make it spicy. Since its Rosh Hashanah, I wanted to keep the flavors on the sweet side and as such, I didn’t add any spiciness. I don’t feel it relates to this holiday. For any other occasion, however, you can definitely add ½ tablespoon of hot paprika to the dressing.

    This salad has different versions throughout the Middle East and North Africa countries.

    The salad itself is made out of carrots and parsley only. The carrots are cooked in boiling water to make them softer. You can boil the carrots to the level of softness you prefer, I kept them soft but not mushy, it's still a salad and not a puree.

    To cut the parsley, I used herb scissors and cut them to small flakes. The dressing is very simple to make. It's made out of olive oil, sweet paprika, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. In some version of this salad, the dressing also contains lemon juice but I avoided it because again it’s Rosh Hashanah and it’s a custom to not have lemon or vinegar to have a sweet year and not tart or a sour one.

    The salad is delicious, full of flavors and everyone just loves it. Many families have it every week on their Friday Kiddush as part of the "Salatim" (salads in Hebrew) or starters with the Challah and wine.
