It is, in my opinion, the delicious oxymoron of all salads, and I say oxymoron because despite its lightness, freshness and incredible taste, it’s eaten with bread! It can be a meal all on its own.
You’ll notice that, in Palestinian cuisine, simplicity almost always wins, and this right here is one of those cases. The ingredients are simple, yet when combined and tied all together with the flavours of mint, citrus, and tahini, you get flavour that will make your palette water, and it will have you going in for bite after bite, until you sadly have to gather the last bit of the tahini dressing with a piece of bread.
