Sharmoula – Libyan Salad

I’m so excited to be sharing one of my favorite Libyan recipes that’s light and healthy! An easy way to explain Sharmoula is like a salsa or finely diced salad made with tomatoes, jalapeño, cucumber, onion, fresh herbs, and a tangy olive oil dressing. It’s simple but that’s what makes it stand out.
