About

Moroccans love their cooked salads, such as this quintessential carrot salad. Preserved lemons are so versatile and I tend to make really good use of them. You can too – adding them is a wonderful way to make your food shine. However, if you don’t want to preserve your own lemons, you can use the zest of a lemon instead for a citrus note.
