Excellent and refreshing salad, and authentic too. I spent a month in Ethiopia in 2009, and their salads tend to have sharp, sour flavours. I made half a batch, but the full amount of dressing so it's ready for the repeat salad I will make tomorrow. :) Used red onion, balsamic vinegar and an anaheim chilli. Thanks so much for posting.

I could totally see this being a perfect side to grilled meats, but I liked it so much when I made it that I ended up eating this for lunch all by itself! I tried it immediately after making it, plus I tried some a couple hours later, and I ate the leftovers the next day. While it was good at all points, I think it tasted best a couple hours after making it. That way, the flavors had time to meld, but it wasn't so long that the tomatoes and cukes were getting soggy. I used the red wine vinegar and a Serrano for the pepper. Thanks for posting, Dreamer, and sorry for the not-so-hot cellphone photo, lol! Made for CQ2017 Ethiopia
