Want a nice side dish and don't want to heat up the kitchen? Great dinner idea for those hot summer nights.
This is absolutely delicious, the balance of chili and lemon and the sweetness of the carrots blend together nicely. It tastes great cold marinated or baked as a side dish.We baked at 400 F for 20 min to soften the carrots. we dont always use feta cheese but it still tastes great either way. If you can squeeze the juice a fresh lemon it tastes best. We used coin cut carrots and golden raisins which works well.

I would give this recipe 4 stars as is. I agree that it lacks zing but it is a great base recipe & is easily adaptable to taste. I have made it twice now & added 1 tablespoon each of cider vinegar & sugar & a bit of minced onion. Let it marinate overnight for sure & stir it up as often as you remember so that all the veggies get a good soaking in the delicious juices at the bottom. I like it just as well without the feta & don't feel like it's missing anything. This one is a keeper. Thanks BFR610!
The first time, I followed the suggestion of another poster and baked the carrots for 20 minutes at 400º to soften them and release the flavor. The second time I made this was for a picnic, so I prepared it the night before. I upped the cumin and lemon juice. It was delicious and the guests loved it!
Excellent!! (With a few tweaks) doubled the dressing ingredients and let it sit in he fridge for 24-48 hours.. soaked up all that good flavor!
This was a phenomenal dish; we had it as a side to some slow-cooker pork, and it paired with that wonderfully while still standing on its own flavor-wise.
I followed some of the tips by adding a little bit of sugar and extra cumin. Instead one ladies suggestion of cider vinegar I added 1/3c. pickled red onions?.
I did not change anything and loved the recipe. Very easy and quick. I may add some more cumin next time as I love it.
Very good but after tasting it I found it too bland so I doubled the olive oil, lemon juice and cumin. Also added some ground cinnamon: DELICIOUS!
