Moroccan Carrot Salad With Dates And Yogurt Vegan Friendly

---

I'm not sure if this recipe is more inspired by moroccan cuisine or close to a traditional recipe...it doesn't matter to me. From a local csa flyer but the original recipe source is unknown. You can easily make this recipe vegan by omitting the plain yogurt and substituting another sweetener for the honey. A link to ras el hanout recipes on this site: http://www.food.com/recipe-finder/condiments-etc/ras-el-hanout. I use this one: recipe #205185.
