Morrocan Tangerine And Olive Salad Recipes

MOROCCAN VEGETABLE SALAD

Steps:

• 1. Arrange the cucumber, potato and pepper slices, and the pitted olives on a serving plate or in a dish.
• 2. Season with salt, if you like. (Olives tend to be very salty so you may not wish to add any extra salt.)
• 3. Sprinkle the garlic, onions, olive oil, vinegar, and lemon juice over the salad. Chill for at least 1 hour. Before serving, sprinkle with the chopped mint leaves and cilantro leaves.
