Whilst on retreat, Fouad made us the most amazing Moroccan cauliflower cous cous salad, teamed with a delicious tahini and herb crusted fish.

Oh my goodness … absolutely delicious.

Since then I have been going a little crazy with using Moroccan spices on just about everything.

This lovely little tangy salad is a delicious combination of fresh greens, crunchy almonds, sweet bursts of pomengranate and a creamy Moroccan spiced yoghurt dressing to top it all off.

It is the perfect accompaniment to oven baked Moroccan chicken, herb crusted fish or to be enjoyed as a light salad on its own.

Ingredients:

2 cups of leafy salad greens

3/4 cup raw almonds, chopped

1 pomegranate, seeds only

1/2 cup natural yoghurt

1/2 lemon, juice

1 clove garlic, crushed

1 tsp Moroccan spice mix - see below

Moroccan spice mix

2 tsp fine sea salt

1 tsp ground cumin and coriander

1/2 tsp turmeric, cinnamon, mild paprika

Method:

1. Combine spices to make up the spice mix - store the extra spice mix in an airtight container.

2. Mix yoghurt, lemon juice, garlic and spices to make up dressing and set aside.

3. Place greens in a serving bowl, then top with the chopped almonds and pomegranates and drizzle the spiced yoghurt dressing over the salad just prior to serving.
