I love this receipe! I have made it in a different way before but this is the best I have tasted. My children love it, and they can't get enough of it.
This salad is addictive! I can't stop eating it! It's really delicious. Thank you, Binnur.

I fell in love with turkish food when i first visited this year in May. However, i have difficulty finding the exotic ingredients here in Singapore. Can anyone help me? Please email me to sophiia777@yahoo.com. Appreciate lots
Hi,
My email address is right below the Recipe Categories:)
does anybody know the history to this salad ?
This recipe is the best. It must be the mint instead of parsley others suggest.
I do wish the posted sites would tell how many the recipe serves. Suggestion: Serves ???? many.
Hi Ben,
It depends how much you serve and what else is served with it. But I
would say 2-3 servings. The most of the recipes that I've posted say "how many servings they are" :)
Binnur,
When we were in Turkey, we had a great neighbor that spoke english and had us over alot. She made a salad where she just added lemon and then sprinkled something that looked like paparika(in color). Do you know what this spice would be. I was thinking that it was sumac. Would I be correct?
Sherree,
I don't think it's sumac because sumac gives sourness like lemon juice. Probably it was Turkish paprika or Turkish red pepper:)
This salad is amazing. The cubanelle pepper adds just the right amount of heat, at least for my tastes. Very refreshing and, as the recipe states, it was a good complement to the lamb dish I made.
