Recipe Description
This vegan rendition of the traditional Turkish Çoban Salatası, also known as Shepherd’s Salad, is a celebration of fresh vegetables commonly found in the pastoral fields. The dish marries the crispiness of cucumbers, the juiciness of tomatoes, and the sharpness of onions with the tang of lemon juice and the earthiness of olive oil, creating a refreshing and nutritious choice. By omitting feta cheese commonly found in some variations, this recipe stays true to its vegan roots while offering a homage to the ease and simplicity of Turkish country cooking. It’s perfect as a standalone meal for a light lunch or serves as an invigorating side that can accompany any main dish, bringing a touch of the Mediterranean to your dining table.
