おいしく保存
Salata Baladi is a fantastic accompaniment to grilled meats like kofta or chicken shish tawook, or served alongside falafel and pita bread for a complete Middle Eastern meal. For a slightly different flavor profile, consider adding a pinch of dried sumac to the dressing. It's also excellent as a light lunch on its own or as part of a mezze platter.
Store leftover Salata Baladi in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
This salad is best enjoyed chilled and does not require reheating.
