🇹🇳 Tunisia recipe

Slata Tounsia

Slata Tounsia is the simplest and most ubiquitous salad in Tunisia, appearing at virtually every meal as a refreshing counterpoint to the rich, spicy dishes that define the cuisine. Made from nothing more than the freshest tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and green peppers, finely diced and dressed with olive oil and lemon, its success depends entirely on the quality of its ingredients. A whisper of harissa and a scattering of olives make it unmistakably Tunisian.
