TURKISH SHEPHERD'S SALAD

What distinguishes this summer salad are all the fresh herbs and the sumac and red pepper used to season it. You can buy these spices at Middle Eastern markets or from online retailers like Penzey's. The recipe is adapted from one in "The Little Foods of the Mediterranean," by Clifford A. Wright.

SHEPHERD'S SALAD (TURKEY)

Shepherd's Salad (Turkey) image

Found this in "The BBQ Bible" and I am posting it for ZWT6. There are probably as many versions of this colorful salad as there are Turkish cooks to make it. The basic ingredients are onions, tomatoes and peppers. Here's a more elaborate version that's bursting with Anatolian freshness.
