recipe tip

Dressing can be made up to 1 week in advance and stored in a sealed jar in the refrigerator. Chopped preserved lemon rind can be added to the salad. It is a common ingredient in Moroccan dishes and can be purchased from Middle Eastern food stores and in some supermarkets.

When purchasing grapes, choose small grapes or halve if larger ones are only available. The inner leaves from the heart of the celery give flavour and colour to any salad.
