Slata Tounsiya

A traditional salad from Tunisia that is so summery and refreshingly delicious. Don't skip the apple nor the onions, even if you think you won't like them in a salad. You will! It is a delightful combo. Typically eaten as a side for a larger meal, simply with some good bread it would make a delicious, light summer meal.
