Though predominantly Arab and Muslim, Tunisia's long history as a European colony, dating back to Roman times, and more recently as a protectorate of France, has added to the Mediterranean and North African culinary influences found in Tunisian cuisine.

1-1/2 tablespoons vinegar
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons mint leaves, chopped
