Moroccan Garden Salad – سلطة الجردة



The Moroccan Garden Salad is always the first thing you serve your guests, in a series of two to three dishes. Now, it’s the first one because it is beautiful and delicious. It definitely get your appetite started and the conversation flowing. I always think that I will not overeat on this salad, to leave space for all the meat that is coming afterward. But I can never stop. It’s simply gorgeous and tasty. And I love it !!!

    oh wow. what a treat. All the cooking tips really help. Those potatoes sound awesome. The beets also. I made like 20 beets in a pressure cooker and they came out great, but the next day my poo was red and I thought I was dying. I might try this with the beets but limit how much I eat. Those green beans… I should try that also… maybe do half of them fully pickled and half this way just to see the difference.

    YES! I missed this channel! Looks absolutely marvelous. Very prescient warning about not filling up on salad – coulda used it a few years ago, but no complaints here. You just have to channel your inner sloth glutton warrior and eat all 4000 delicious calories.

    Delicious salad, beautifully presented and yes I would fast the day when a Moroccan invites me for dinner. For me this salad is a whole meal, I won’t think of anything else !!

    So true, after marrying into a Moroccan family and moving to Morocco I totally understand…we eat then we walk alhamdolilah, so my weight hasnt varied too much..the walking helps, but Moroccans do love their bread meat and chicken!
