Salads are an integral part of an arabian meal and accompany their main meals. This salad is rich in colour and uses up all the vegetables and ingredients that are easily available in the region. In this version we’ve used the beautiful cherry tomatoes, green and black olives, mint and iceberg lettuce all tossed in with a tangy dressing that uses pomegranate powder, and the special baharat powder that brings in a unique flavour. It is different and exotic!
