Instructions: Trim ends off zucchini. Cut lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick pieces; then slice into 1/4-inch-wide strips, creating matchsticks. Cut matchsticks into 3-inch pieces. Combine with chickpeas, red pepper. Set aside. In another bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, turmeric and paprika. Add raisins and let stand for 5 minutes. Pour dressing over zucchini mixture and toss well. Add salt and toss again. Refrigerate salad for at least 1/2 hour and up to 3 hours to let flavors mingle.

NOTES : Inspired by the spices of North Africa, this salad should be made in advance to allow the flavors to infuse. Serve with a chicken salad sandwich.
