TUNISIAN CARROT SALAD WITH HARISSA
I like this salad because the carrots are sliced, not mashed - and has a more authentic feel because the spiciness comes from harissa rather than cayenne, as most recipes on this site use. From The Essential Mediterranean Cookbook - one of my favorites! This is meant to be served warm, but we like it cold, too.

- To serve, place the carrots in a serving dish and garnish with the olives and eggs.
- NOTE: if the carrots aren't sweet, you can add a touch of honey to the dressing.
