Salads are a key part of Moroccan meals; several salads with various fruits or vegetables may be on the table at lunch or dinner. Orange-flower water perfumes the ingredients without overwhelming them in this salty-sweet dish. Look for it on the international aisle of your supermarket or at Middle Eastern grocery stores.
