To beat the heat, here’s a lovely fresh salad made with just three ingredients – it’s really easy to make.
This is a lighter version of cucumber sonomono, made without sugar or soya sauce.
In Morocco, it’s easy to find wakame and rice vinegar, at least in the major cities. Rice vinegar is available in large supermarkets (Marjane, Carrefour, etc.) and wakame can be found in Asian shops, priced between 25 and 30 dirhams for 50 grams, or in organic shops under the Clearspring brand, at a much higher price (100 dirhams for 30 grams).
As for the cucumber to use in this recipe, it simply needs to be small, firm and very fresh.
