Moroccan Carrot and Beet Salad

I found this recipe after my son insisted we buy Golden Beets at the local farmer's market.   I was worried that with the strong spices my kids wouldn't like it but I was wrong, they ate it up!  This recipe uses lime juice instead of vinegar so it is suitable for a candida diet.




What you need:

About 3 carrots grated
2 beets grated ( I used ggolden bets but it would work with red ones as well)
1/2 cup of raisins 
1/4 cup chopped dried apricots
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp cinnamon
A pinch of salt
A pinch of cayenne
2 tbs lime juice
2 tsp honey
2 tbs fresh mint leaves chopped

In a large bowl combine the carrots, beets, raisins and apricots.  In a small bowl whisk together the remaining ingredients. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and stir to coat.
