Torchi is a pickled Tunisian salad often served as a small apéritif-style side dish (known as kemia in Tunisia). It’s lemony, spicy, and a great accompaniment to any meal! This version is quite basic so feel free to modify it by incorporating other veggies such as carrots or fennel, or by playing around with the spices!
