We so love this salad every time we go to an Ethiopian restaurant. It seems so simple but honestly, you have to try it this way to get that authentic restaurant flavor. The plating is usually done family-style at most Ethiopian restaurants and the injera is used as a scoop to eat. They usually do not serve the food with silverware. So to get the most authentic flavors, serve the Injera on a family platter with Doro Wat (Spicy Chicken Stew with Egg), Misr Wat (Red Lentil), Gomen Wat (Collard Greens), and Atkilt Wat(Cabbage and potatoes) with a side of tangy green salad.
