Baladieh Salad

This recipe comes from Sharon Salloum, one half of Almond Bar's parents. You might have read the recent post recommending Almond Bar in Darlinghurst and particularly their Baladieh Salad. With just a few ingredients, you can now make the exact concoction at home. It's a wonderful mixture of refreshing and nutty flavours. Serves 3-4.

Salad
250g Baladieh cheese/Fetta/Paneer, cubed
2 tomatoes, cut into small wedges
1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1/4 cup almonds, roasted and chopped
1/3 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained

Dressing
2 tbsp allspice 
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
¼ cup lemon juice
¼ cup olive oil 

Add the cheese and tomatoes to a salad bowl, followed by the remaining salad ingredients. Whisk the dressing ingredients together in a separate bowl and pour over salad. Toss lightly.
