Turkish Shepherd's Salad

Name: Turkish Shepherd's Salad
Ingredients: 2-3 Persian cucumbers, sliced on a bias; 1/4 red onion, small julienne; 1/3 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in quarters; 1/2 large wax pepper, sliced in thin coins; 1/4 cup fresh parsley, torn; 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled; 1 teaspoon dried spearmint; 1/2 teaspoon Urfa Biber chiles; 1 heaping teaspoon sumac; 1-2 tablespoons olive oil; 1-2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

To celebrate our sumac’s Turkish origin, we tossed up a choban salad, also known as Turkish shepherd's salad. This is a nice side for any grilled meat, especially some heavily-spiced lamb.

Yield: 4 modest servings

I have started replacing my spices from your “HOUSE” since I discovered it. It has the best variety and the best tasting spices I have ever cooked with. I figure replacing three to five new spices monthly should fit into my budget especially with the “flat packs” with no shipping!
