Carrot Salad with a Moroccan flavor

This carrot salad with its wonderful dressing containing different spices like Cinnamon, Pepper, Ginger with raisins and honey gives it the typical and the characteristic Moroccan flavor.  Since my husband loves this sweet-sour combination very much, this salad got a big applause :)
Carrot lovers could give it a try......
