- 1
Make dressing: Whisk oil, vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic and berbere.
- 2
Cut vegetables fresh: Chop tomatoes, onion and deseeded jalapeño shortly before serving.
- 3
Toss and chill: Toss vegetables with dressing; optionally add torn injera, then chill briefly.
Cook's notes
- Mix the dressing separately so the berbere disperses evenly instead of clumping on the tomatoes.
- Use ripe but firm tomatoes; very soft tomatoes release too much water and dilute the dressing.
- If adding injera, add it near serving time so it absorbs flavor without disappearing into mush.
