Gavurdagi Salad

(Gavurdagi Salatasi)

Gavurdagi Salad
2 medium tomatoes, discard the seeds, chopped
1/4 red or white onion, finely chopped
2/3 cup parsley, finely chopped
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp pomegranate paste or Granadine syrup
2-3 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp Cayenne pepper, crushed
1 tsp sumac
Salt

Garnish:
1/4 cup walnut, crushed

Crushed the onion with salt and sumac. Toss all the ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Place in a service plate and sprinkle the walnuts all over. I find that Gavurdagi Salad is more delicious if you put it aside for a few hours before you serve it :)

Serve with any kind of Kebab or Barbecued meat.

Hello Binnur,
I love reading your recipes and this one will definitely be for lunch today!
Can you please tell me what Gavurdagi means literally?
Thanks,
Joan (in Milan, Italy)

Hi Joan,
Thank you:) Please have this salad with a tablespoon, you definitely
don't want to miss the delicious juice:)
The salad is named after a mountain - Gavurdagi is located in the southeast Anatolia. Afiyet olsun,

Hi Elif,
It depends how much you serve and what else is served with it. But I
would say 2-3 servings:)

Fantastic salad, had it once in Istanbul in a huge kebab restaurant near Atakoy.

Seems quite difficult to find on the net, perhaps more of a regional dish (?) so it's nice to find this excellent recipe with a great picture too! :)
