ABOUT THIS RECIPE:
Tomato and cucumber salad is a national favorite amongst Moroccans. It is an easy, quick, and affordable side-dish that will brighten your lunch or dinner table. It is a perfect addition to both vegetarian and meat-based main courses. The crunchy cucumbers, the juicy sweet tomatoes, and the punchy chopped onions create a well-balanced and tasty bite; hence, the importance of finely chopping each of these vegetables.

This salad is made with just salt and pepper, which allows the freshness of the vegetables to pop. White vinegar, olive oil, and tomato juices bring all the flavors together and make this salad a perfect summer treat, though it is often enjoyed all year long.

It is mostly served cold, in fact some people do let the peeled vegetables cool in the fridge before mixing them all together.
