Timatim Salad is a delicious and nutritious vegan/vegetarian dish originating in Ethiopia. It is a popular side dish, consisting of tomatoes, onions, jalapeno peppers, and spices.

Timatim salad is easy to make and is usually served cold or chilled. This flavorful dish is just as healthy as it is tasty; tomatoes are a good source of vitamins A and C, while the onions provide dietary fiber.
