Tips:

  • For the most flavorful salad, use fresh, crisp vegetables. Look for carrots that are brightly colored and have no blemishes, and cauliflower that is white and firm.
  • To save time, you can use pre-shredded carrots and cauliflower. However, if you shred the vegetables yourself, you will get a more even cut.
  • If you don't have any African spices on hand, you can substitute a mixture of cumin, coriander, and paprika.
  • Be sure to taste the dressing before adding it to the salad. You may want to adjust the amount of lemon juice or honey to suit your taste.
  • Serve the salad immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

This African spiced cauliflower and carrot salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to please everyone at your table.
