Tunisian 'mechouia' Salad image

The exotic flavours of this salad would make a perfect appetizer for a summer menu. Serve with warm toast, as an appetizer. You could also serve it as a main-course salad with tuna, olives, hard-boiled eggs and pickled lemons. This salad is best if you prepare it the day before, to allow the flavours to develop. Up to two days ahead, make the recipe to the end of step 2. Cool, cover and chill. Sprinkle with chopped fresh mint and serve at room temperature.

Salad Mechouia (Tunisian Salad) image

Mechouia is a Tunisian summer salad made with tomatoes and peppers. Salad Mechouia is often prepared in two versions; hot and mild, depending on the pepper taste. For those who like it hot, Salad Mechouia made spicy is a perfect accompaniment to lamb or grilled fish. Usually the mild Salad Mechouia is consumed as an appetizer or served with high quality tuna, olives and eggs as an aperitif, spread on grilled toasts or as an accompaniment to baked or fried fish or grilled pork or chicken.
