Egyptian Tossed Salad

This crisp blend of vegetables is offered as a topping or side at Zooba, the Egyptian street food restaurant in New York City. We made it a stand-alone salad to stuff into pita with taameya (Egyptian falafel–see Associated Recipes) or serve with just about anything else.

• 2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• ¼ teaspoon salt

• 1 ¼ cups diced tomatoes
• 1 cup chopped fresh parsley
• ⅔ cup diced green bell pepper
• ½ cup diced radishes
• ⅓ cup diced yellow onion

Directions

• Step 1 Whisk lime juice, vinegar, cumin and salt in a large bowl. Add cucumber, tomatoes, parsley, bell pepper, radishes and onion; toss to combine.
