Moroccan Cucumber Red Pepper Salad

Sharing is caring!

This recipe for a Moroccan Cucumber Red Pepper Salad is embarassingly easy to make.  As well it is light and refreshing.  It is made with simple every day ingredients, too.  Cucumbers, red peppers and slivers of red onion with a drizzle of this and a sprinkle of that, and before you know it you have an amazing Moroccan Cucumber Red Pepper Salad on the table.  Great as a meal on its own or served alongside grilled chicken or fish.

I was introduced to this easy to make salad by a woman of French Moroccan decent.   She served this every Friday night for Sabbath, and it was the part of the meal I enjoyed most. I loved how wonderful something could taste so fresh by using simple ingredients.  At times she would change it up a bit by adding what ever was fresh from the garden, maybe a tomato, or a squeeze of lemon juice and even a sprinkle of mint.  Regardless the base for her Moroccan Cucumber Red Pepper Salad stayed true to what I am sharing with you.  

I have not made this salad in years, but I do order it when I see it on a menu.  I had some cucumbers as well as red peppers begging me to do something with them and this simple salad came to mind.  This recipe is perfect for a hot end of summer city night, which was tonight! 

As I mentioned, this salad can be changed up a bit by adding tomatoes and parsley or even mint.  It is perfect served with grilled meat or fish, as well it makes for a perfectly light lunch.
