Lemon Salad

"This recipe is Moroccan in origin and makes a piquant, refreshing appetiser. For a touch of authenticity, serve several different Moroccan salads in small bowls at the beginning of a meal. I’m posting other salads for you to choose from. This recipe is borrowed from “The World of Spice” and is posted for Zaar World Tour 2005. NOTE: The original recipe calls (not very helpfully in my opinion) for ½ wine glass of olive oil. So, how much oil is that? As standard sizes of wine glass are either for 125ml or 250ml I’m going for the smaller, healthier option; which equates to about ¼ cup. Feel free to add more if olive oil if you wish."

  1. I loved this, my hsuband thought the lemon bits were too much. The problem might have been too large chunks. Served with fish. Very Very easy
     
  2. I actually used a bit less oil and a bit more spice and made sure I removed all the pith from the lemons--as part of an array of Moroccan appetizers, this was delightful. Thanks, Caroline!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live with my husband and 2 cats in Worcester Park; a quiet typical 1930s suburb (which no one has ever heard of!) about 12 miles South West of London. I'm a fair weather gardener and as my husband is a vegetarian I grow a few easy vegetables, such as tomatoes and peppers, mainly in containers. My husband loves growing flowers, the brighter the better, and we have a pretty garden as a result. Our cats, Araminta and Purrl, like it too! I do a lot of cooking and try to keep our diet as healthy and varied as possible. Although I work full time, I use very little in the way of pre-prepared foods. This is partly because of the limited choice of vegetarian meals, which I think are overpriced anyway; but mainly because I like to know what goes in my food! I love using the Internet for all the great ideas it gives me. Last year I participated in the Zaar World Tour (under my previous public name Caroline Blakey), which was great. Mr B and I tried lots of new foods and discovered new favourite meals. Researching recipes for the Tour was really interesting, however as I didn't have time to try them all, some were posted untested. I'm still working my way very slowly through them. To make matters worse I keep seeing other recipes I want to save and have also participated in Zaar world Tour II. So many recipes, so little time to make them! <img src="http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/kzbhansen/Banners/Animation3.gif"> My 'rules' for posting recipes are a) if I wouldn't make a particular recipe, I won't post it and b) if my husband wouldn't eat it, I won't post it. This means that all my recipes are vegetarian friendly. As you will see from the number of recipes saved in my cookbooks, I particularly enjoy making jams and chutneys; I'd say it was one of my favourite hobbies. We always have a good supply of home preserves; my friends and work colleagues are well supplied too. If we won the lottery (say £5m, as a good number) we'd like to give up work, move to the country and buy a place with a bit of land. In my dreams this would be a manor house or old vicarage, with a walled garden, an orchard where I could keep hens, a vegetable garden, etc, etc, etc! In my more realistic moments (the £1m win perhaps) I would like to run a B&B, perhaps offering Vegetarian taster weekends. Luckily it costs nothing to dream.......I’d also love more time to read, do embroidery, learn a language, see more of the countryside; and of course play on Zaar.
