The salad originally came from the mountains of Syria and Lebanon.[3] It has become popular throughout the Middle East,[4] and has spread to other countries. It is a popular ethnic food in Western countries.
In the Arab world, particularly Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine, it is usually served as part of a meze.[5][6]
