Recipe for the weekend is African-Spiced Cauliflower and Carrot Salad

Here is a recipe for a side dish that the entire family or even just a small company of two can enjoy. The dish is light and very healthy and tastes like Africa. In Africa raw vegetables are popular in salads though this recipe does call to lightly steam or you can quick blanch them for 4 minutes. Toasting the spices in a skillet brings out their sweet and hot flavours. This recipe does not take long to prepare and is most definitely worth a try.
