Looks great
And if you take the seeds out of the tomatoes and cucumbers it taste 10 times better.
Looks deliciously healthy! Thank you for sharing! ❤
I was fortunate to live where several Greek cooks shared the best food ever. I am sorry to say many have passed away now. I especially enjoyed Eleni's Restaurant.
Your salad is a work of art…❤
I think it’s universal salad, in most of countries it’s well known. Simple and tasty
Sounds and looks delicious! What is Sumac, please?
It's good together with fried potatoes.
Arabs stole from Iran like many other things!
You always look so pretty in the kitchen with your dresses and your makeup, nails and hair done. It's very inspiring 🤗
I always put za’atar on top…tastes soooooo good.
Thank you for posting the recipe!
“In egypt we call it salata”
😂😂😂😂😂 its still called “salad”
This is one of my favourite salads, especially since I have invested in quality EVOO. I don’t use Sumac instead I use a really nice Balsamic Vinegar…delicious 😊
It's the best I grew up with that also nothing better than that wonderful salad and the dressing it makes
This is an amazing simple delicious healthy salad recipe! Thank you!! I added my own mix by adding a bit of High quality Apple cider vinegar and half handful of fresh diced dill and chefs Kiss!😊😋
Juice is the best drink. ❤
