    Libyan salad is a typical Arab style salad but with the lovely addition of apples.Crab apples grow wild in some parts of Libya and are the inspiration for this salad.  It is made with fresh tomatoes, grated cucumber, olives and apples.  It also has some onion, parsley and cilantro.  This salad is often served as a meal by adding a can of tuna to it.  The dressing is made with the pulp of the tomato, some lemon, salt and olive oil  for a lovely dressing. We enjoyed it with a bit of Libyan bread called khubzit howsh which is very similar to a pita bread with a pocket.
