Fresh Cucumber Tomato Salad with Mint
Fresh cucumbers and tomatoes are tossed in vinegar, oil, and fresh mint for a refreshing salad that is the perfect accompaniment to middle eastern inspired foods such as Tahini Marinated Grilled Chicken.
Add some extra crunch with Yemenite Ja’ala
Yemenite Ja’ala is a delicious mix of nuts and seeds, coated with spices and roasted until crunchy and flavorful. Making it couldn’t be easier. Simply dump a variety of nuts and seeds in a bowl, add some spices, olive oil and boiling water, spread it onto a pan, and pop it in the oven to roast. Ja’ala makes a delicious, healthy grab-and-go snack, is a delightful addition to a charcuterie plate or cheese board, and is one of my favorite ways to top a salad.
