This fresh, vibrant dinner salad is inspired by the bright, herb-filled side dishes often served alongside Moroccan meals—where simple ingredients are brought to life with citrus, olive oil, and warming spices. Crisp romaine, juicy tomatoes, cooling cucumber, and fresh parsley come together with a lemony dressing infused with cumin and coriander. The result is light yet deeply flavorful, offering a beautiful contrast to richly spiced mains like tagines, roasted meats, or tomato-based stews.
