Arabic term or phrase: سلطة مشوية
Hi everyone,

This is from a Libyan text, and it is a Libyan Jew who is cooking the food, in case this is a cultural speciality.

Does this literally mean grilled salad? Or is سلطة here a kind of fish?

This sentence is:

بدأنا السهرة بعشاء أعدّه ، طبق من الوراثة المشوية، وسلطة مشوية وخبز "طليان" ومع هذا قنينة عصير

Thanks!
