This crisp blend of vegetables is offered as a topping or side at Zooba, the Egyptian street food restaurant in New York City. We made it a stand-alone salad to stuff into pita with taameya (Egyptian falafel–see Associated Recipes) or serve with just about anything else. (Recipe adapted from Zooba Restaurant.)
