This simple salad is a light side dish served as a refreshing contrast to some of the pungent spices found in many Moroccan dishes. It's best of course, when tomatoes are in season and at the height of their flavor.
2 large ripe tomatoes in medium dice (preferably peeled, seeded, then diced)
1 peeled celery stalk; cut in half lengthwise and thinly sliced
1/4 cup yellow bell pepper in small dice
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
2 tablespoons minced preserved lemon (peel only)
Kosher salt
3/4 - 1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Recipe
Toss and season with salt to taste. Ideally make in the morning, bring to room temperature before serving and season again to taste. Serves 4.
