It sounds too good to be true, but this easy Moroccan salad recipe is simply amazing, people!<\/p>\n

This simple Moroccan orange and beet salad with fresh mint is a lifesaver if you’re hosting a party or a bigger event because you can make it up to FIVE days ahead. And it only gets better.<\/p>\n

Drizzled with a citrusy, cumin-spiced Moroccan Orange dressing and paired with the fresh mint and the sharpness of red onions – simply divine! A bright and vibrant vegan salad that will perk up just about any Middle Eastern or Mediterranean meal.<\/p>\n

\"vegan<\/p>\n

The beet salad is vegan as is, but can be served with feta cheese or goat cheese. A great appetizer or side dish for lamb<\/a> or Lamb Tagine.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

You can simply boil beetroot unpeeled in water. With its dark, strong color, beetroot is not only nice to look at on the plate but also very healthy and tasty. It’s best to buy them fresh from the market between July and November.<\/p>\n

Moroccan Flavors that Make this Beet Salad Dressing AMAZING<\/h2>\n

When whisked together with some extra virgin olive and a bit of salt to make a simple beet salad dressing, these flavors add an exotic, Moroccan flair:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Cumin.<\/strong> A traditional Moroccan spice. Its warm, pungent flavor is a staple in Moroccan cuisine and it is a defining flavor of our orange and beet salad, too.<\/li>\n
  2. Fresh Mint! Known from Moroccan Mint tea – I love the <\/strong>refreshing note it adds and it pairs so well with orange<\/li>\n
  3. Fresh Orange juice and orange zest<\/strong> add sweetness, zinginess, and a bit of acidity\u2014 perfect to counterbalance the beets’ earthy sweetness.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
