Recipe Description

Kısır is a delightful Turkish salad that is known for its savory, tangy, and slightly spicy flavor profile. This classic vegan version embraces the richness of fine bulgur wheat, an array of fresh vegetables, and the profound flavors of pomegranate molasses and olive oil, making it a refreshing and nutritious dish. The preparation is incredibly straightforward, requiring only the mixing of bulgur with boiling water to soften and the subsequent incorporation of finely chopped vegetables and seasonings. Kısır serves beautifully as an appetizer, a side dish, or a light meal, offering a vegan option that is both fulfilling and aligned with a healthy dietary preference. Its versatility and ease of preparation have made it a beloved dish not only in Turkey but around the world among those who appreciate the nuances of Mediterranean cuisine.
