Apple, Carrot & Cabbage Chopped Salad
Apple, Carrot & Cabbage Chopped Salad

Orange blossom water adds an exotic citrus essence to the dressing in this spiced carrot and cabbage salad recipe. If you prefer, you can substitute orange juice, which will give you a similar flavor without the delicate perfumed notes. Look for orange blossom water in natural-foods stores and Middle Eastern grocers.

Not a fan of Orange Flower Water
I had not used Orange Flower Water before and found it lent much more than a delicate perfumed note Added some orange zest and juice to try and mask it. Not sure family is going to like this one. Try maybe a teaspoon (not a tablespoon) of the Orange Flower water if you want to be adventurous.
Pros: Not your usual carrot salad
Cons: Perfumy taste was overwhelming
