I must have made this a dozen times now. The family insist that I arrive with it to all family functions as it's a massive crowd pleaser. Do it.

Wow, this salad is fantastic with morroccan kebabs on a BBQ. We live in the middle east and surrounded by this food daily, and this is more authentic and tasty than 99.9% of the food here. You must try this!
