Chef's Tips

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing.

If you don't have an oven, you can lightly toast the injera pieces in a dry skillet over medium heat.

Feel free to add other vegetables like red onion, bell peppers, or olives to the salad.

For a more substantial meal, add grilled chicken or chickpeas.
