Are you looking for a refreshing spring-summer salad to serve with your dinner?  On the last Pitcher & Powell Culinary Adventure to Marrakech, we learned to make this simple, yet stunning sweet cucumber salad!  The only ingredient that you may not have on hand but can be ordered from a specialty store (such as The Spice House). If you have been to Morocco, this salad may bring back fond memories and if you haven’t been, it is a great way to experience a taste of Marrakech!
