This bright and refreshing salad, from has all my favorite ingredients. We like to use Sesame Pita Crisps to scoop up the salad, although lavosh would work, too! Named after a mountain in southeast Anatolia. Sumac is available in Middle Eastern shops or online. It will make a huge difference if you use the freshest, best tomatoes and freshest parsley you can find.
Ingredients:
1/4 red onions or 1/4 white onion, finely chopped
salt, to taste
1 teaspoon ground sumac
2 medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
2/3 cup parsley, finely chopped (not dried)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon pomegranate syrup (also known as pomegranate molasses)
2 -3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup walnuts, toasted
Directions:
1. Crush the onion with the salt and sumac.
2. Toss all the ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl.
3. Arrange on a festive salad platter and garnish with the walnuts.
4. Gavurdagi salad's flavor is enhanced if you put it aside for a few hours before you serve it.
