Feggous and Tomato Salad (Moroccan Chopped Cucumber and Tomato S image

Posting this recipe for ZWT and it is just like a salad I make for my family with the exception of this one not including garlic salt. When I make mine I use apple cider vinegar and olive oil, along with the salt, pepper and garlic salt. This is a recipe I found on About.com under the Moroccan food section.

FEGGOUS AND TOMATO SALAD - MOROCCAN CHOPPED CUCUMBER AND TOMATO SALAD



Feggous and Tomato Salad - Moroccan Chopped Cucumber and Tomato Salad image

Feggous or cucumbers offer crispy contrast to tomatoes in this Moroccan salad (shlada) with vinaigrette and fresh mint. Sometimes referred to as shlada 'arobiya (country salad) or shlada nationale (national salad), it can be served as-is or used to make Salade Marocaine. Mixing the salad at least 10 minutes before serving will allow the flavors to blend. A spoon can be offered, but the salad may also be eaten as a dip with Moroccan bread (khobz) for scooping it up. Also see Feggous Salad with Orange Flower Water.
