Moroccan Cucumber, Tomato and Mint Salad (Zaalouk of Cucumber)
This Moroccan cucumber, tomato, and mint salad is a burst of freshness, perfect for hot days. It evokes the souks of Marrakech, where sun-ripened vegetables mingle with spices. For an authentic couscous, use medium-grain semolina and sprinkle it with salted water before cooking. Essential Moroccan spices include cumin, paprika, ginger, and saffron. You can find halal products online on specialized sites like "Spices of the Orient" or "Maroc & Co". Make this salad in 15 minutes, and it will quickly become a staple.
