Salata Mashwiya- From the Land of Tunisia

During my stay in Tunisia, I wanted to try some of the local dishes.The local helper working in the house taught me a few recipes. Salata Mashwiya was one of the first recipes I tried- it means roasted salad. Its  a a great starter and adds a different flavour on the table. Tunisian Cuisine has both Arab and Mediterranean cuisine influence.
