Description
According to david scott's "middle eastern vegetarian cookery", this easy salad is from egypt, and is often served with the bean salad, "ful medames". I love it – it is fresh and summery, and delicious on a hot day. Feel free to reduce, or even omit, the onion if you don't like to eat it raw – the recipe still works well without it. Posted in the hope of joining the north african and middle eastern tag game 🙂
