"This salad is one of the many Middle Eastern appetizers or mezzes, dishes providing an array of textures, colours and flavours. They can be eaten as side dishes or as appetizers."
In a bowl, mix the oil with the cumin, chili powder, paprika, garlic and lemon juice. Then pour over the dressing over the olives in the bowl and stir around so that they are well coated. Put in the salad in the fridge to chill before serving.
