A fresh, colorful carrot ribbon salad with creamy feta cheese and crunchy pistachios, tossed in a tangy oil and vinegar dressing featuring cumin, coriander and bright paprika. This Middle Eastern-inspired side dish is a great compliment to fish or chicken, and comes together quickly enough to be a new weeknight standby.
