Moroccan salad

Serves 4 20 min

An easy, seasonal salad and a popular side dish in Morocco and Tunisia. This goes well with couscous and grilled meats. Another good way to eat it is as a starter with black olives and quartered boiled eggs. Minced preserved lemon is a very good addition, as is a little crumbled goat's cheese.
