Moroccan Salad Recipe with Cabbage, Carrots, and Mint

Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes

This Moroccan Salad Recipe with Cabbage, Carrots, and Mint is so tasty, and lemon and cumin added to the dressing adds even more flavor.

Ingredients

Salad Ingredients:

  • 5 cups thinly sliced green cabbage
  • 2 cups shredded carrots (I like the thick pre-shredded carrots that come in a bag for this)
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
  • salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

Dressing Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 2 T fresh-squeezed lemon juice (see notes)
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 2 tsp. Monkfruit Sweetener (see notes)

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice enough green cabbage to make 4-5 cups thinly sliced cabbage.
  2. Grate carrots to make 2 cups shredded carrots (or use the shredded carrots in a bag like I did, which are slightly thicker than the carrots you grate by hand.)
  3. Thinly slice green onions and chop the mint (washing and drying it first if using garden mint.)
  4. Whisk together the mayo, fresh lemon juice, ground cumin, and sweetener of your choice to make the dressing.
  5. Combine sliced cabbage, shredded carrots, and sliced green onions in a bowl; then stir in enough dressing to moisten all the ingredients.
  6. Stir in chopped mint, season to taste with salt and fresh ground black pepper, and serve.

Notes

I use my frozen fresh lemon juice for this recipe. I would use Monkfruit Sweetener (affiliate link) for this salad, but use any sweetener of your choice.

If this makes more salad than you are going to eat at one time, I would only add mint to the portion of salad you’re going to use. Refrigerate the mint and leftover salad separately and add mint to the rest of the salad just before you eat it.
