Salad is called shlada in Moroccan Arabic, with the term "Moroccan Salad" (Salade Marocaine) sometimes used to refer to a finely chopped salad of tomatoes and other ingredients such as roasted peppers, raw peppers, lettuce, cucumber or feggous.
Moroccan Salad is traditionally dressed in a light vinaigrette; it might be garnished with olives, tuna and hard-boiled eggs. Offer Salade Marocaine with a spoon, or eat it like a dip with Moroccan bread, or khobz.
