The secret of the salad is how small you can chop the tomatoes, cucumber, and onion. When they are chopped into small pieces, then you get all of them in a bit and it makes a huge difference!
Chop the tomatoes (with the skin), the cucumber, and yellow onion into very small pieces.
Chop the preserved lemon peel (not the pulp) into very small pieces. If you dont have preserved lemon you can just skip it.
Mixing the Ingredients
In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together: tomatoes, cucumber, onion, preserved lemon peel, lemon juice, chopped cilantro, olive oil, and spices. Mix well. Taste and adjust the spices accordingly.
Serving the Salad
You can serve the salad in a bowl along with French baguette or Moroccan bread.
You can make it look fancy by plating it using a large cookie cutter that you put on a plate, fill it with the salad, pack, then slowly remove the cookie cutter. The salad will be shaped nicely.Bon Appetit!
