wow nataly , thats so delicious salade i realy got shocked with the mixture of the grilled vegetables. Just a little question , if i add chesse to the mixture , it loses its original taste or not ?
Hi Trevor, so first of all thanks for your interest.
Its better without, cheese and olive oil make a bad mixture.
i ve been in tunisia years ago , and i spent a lil time in a town called Gafsa i guess and i aet this salade directly from a local chef, and he recommand to use Tabonna ( bread ) as a traditonnal habbit , i realy loved it
Hi Sergio, so first of all thanks for your interest.
Yes you can use Tabouna or the Mlewi (sort of traditional tunisian bread)
