Named after the Gavur mountain, part of Tarsus mountains in Southeast part of Turkey, this delicious salad originates from the Gaziantep region, where many wonderfully delicious and spicy Turkish dishes come from. This is a variation of this wonderful salad that add watercress, walnuts and pomegranate seeds for extra freshness and texture, still authentic to the region and works really well. You can enjoy this delicious and easy salad as a starter or accompaniment to grills, kebabs or alone if you wish.
