I like to host guests at my home from time to time, and I am gathering  recipes of different dishes and drinks to keep things interesting. I am interested in trying some Egyptian dishes. Can you give me a recipe for Salata Baladi?

Sure, that’s easy! Salata Baladi is essentially a thick, spiced tomato-and-pepper-based salad with beans, chickpeas, cucumbers, onions, and some carrots. The “baladi” in the name refers to “country style”, which is traditionally served with falafel. The base of the salad is tomatoes, seasoned with chili pepper, cumin, and garlic.

Is this mostly served by itself or as a side dish?
