Moroccan Carrots and orange Salad

This simple salad is refreshing, and the orange blossom water adds an unusual touch.

I prepared this dish for the second time for a barbecue that we enjoyed with few families in a place called Haddow house (30 min from Aberdeen). I have been thinking about trying this recipe with others for it's unusal combination of fruits and vegetable. It went really well with barbecued meat (especially chicken). Feel free to play with the quantities to suit your own taste.

I also made a middle eastern salad. The coulours say it all. Health on a plate. Who said healthy food is boring...
