    turkish salad

    I used to travel for work to Turkey a few years ago and the food was fantastic, especially for a vegetarian. So many fresh and vibrant vegetable dishes packed full of flavor. One of my favorite memories was going to an outdoor nightclub/bar which served bowls of fresh cherries at the tables to snack on. The best cherries I've ever tasted!

    WHAT IS A TURKISH SALAD?

    A traditional Turkish salad is called "Coban Salatasi" or "Shepherd's Salad." It is a refreshing and light salad made with diced fresh vegetables and herbs, dressed with a simple olive oil and lemon juice dressing. The salad typically includes tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, green peppers, and parsley, and sometimes additional herbs like mint or dill.

    Some variations also include feta cheese, olives, or hard-boiled eggs. The ingredients are usually chopped into small pieces and mixed together with the dressing, and the salad is served cold as a side dish or appetizer. Coban Salatasi is a staple in Turkish cuisine and is often enjoyed during the summer months when fresh vegetables are abundant.

    SALAD INGREDIENTS

    Bright, colourful and full of flavor, the salad ingredients are simple yet delicious.

    ingredients for a Turkish salad

    There are no major substitutions in this recipe but you could add feta or goats cheese for protein and change the fresh herbs used.

    HOW TO MAKE TURKISH SALAD

    This is a simple salad to make but benefits of chilling for at least an hour before serving.

    RECIPE TIPS

    • Make this salad ahead for the flavors to develop.
    • Sprinkle sumac to serve for a zesty flavor.
    • Ensure that the olive oil you use is of a good quality. It makes all the difference to a salad dressing.
    • Add black olives for an additional flavor.

    STORAGE

    Ideally, this salad should be served fresh and enjoyed the same day. Any leftovers can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container and should be consumed the next day.

    WHAT TO SERVE WITH TURKISH SALAD

    We serve this salad with a side of Greek yogurt, sprinkled with sumac with a plate of keto pita bread. You could serve this salad as a side to our Greek stuffed eggplant, a vegetable kebab or a keto quiche.
