The theme for Monday Posts in June is Salads.
All types of salads – although there are only 4 Mondays we shall try for variety.
The only similarity is that they will be ‘side’ salads, rather than main course salads. Those will come later.
Carrot Salads are very popular in France but this one is Moroccan style, not French style.
You can find more Lettuce & Vegetable Salads and / or Pasta & Grain Salads by clicking the links.

That’s it!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen lemon vinegar! I’ll have to look for it because Jimmy loves carrots and I think this would be a winner for him.
Lemon juice would work but I saw the lemon vinegar and couldn’t resist. I’m a sucker for interesting foods. lol
Is lemon vinegar a speciality of your area…it sounds delicious…I would love a drizzle on white fish !
I have no idea – 1 supermarket carries it. But the French love their vinagraites!
