Harissa carrot salad with Feta

When I saw this gorgeous salad on Smitten Kitchen, I knew I had to give it a go. I just love carrots with anything spicy and I love the idea of adding Feta cheese. I gave it my own spin and replaced the mint with flat-leaf parsley and simplified the Harissa dressing a little.

I served this salad with a lemony roast chicken for dinner last night and I just loved it. The sweet carrot flavour is enhanced by the spicy Harissa and the creamy Feta balances out all the flavours perfectly. Just delicious.

    My ancient tune of harissa has turned to fire in the fridge! Seriously, all I get is chili. Still made part of a great lunch on the first warm day in the UK this year. Will make my own harissa for the next attempt!
