A traditional Moroccan salad with lots of raw red onion, garlic, parsley and cold-pressed olive oil. Full of flavorful fresh notes, great to enjoy as a side or on its own. To us, it was delicious on its own and disappeared without any other trace than the pretty-smelling bowl that made us want more :)
