Just like it’s shown by the name, the Tunisian salad comes from Tunisia and is made with fresh, raw veggies, just like many mediterranean salads. It’s generally filled with hard-boiled eggs, extra virgin olive oil and tuna belly. The Tunisian salad is frequently prepared in Tunisia, since it’s quite easy and accompanies almost all kind of meat and fish.

  • 1 acid apple
  • Some dried mint
  • 3 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbps of vinegar
