Turkish Salad is a vibrant, Mediterranean-style dish originating from Turkey, known for its fresh ingredients and bold flavors. It typically combines finely chopped vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, onions, and parsley, tossed in a dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Some variations may include sumac, pomegranate molasses, or crushed garlic for added zest. This salad is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, supporting digestion and overall heart health. Olive oil provides healthy monounsaturated fats, which can help reduce inflammation. With no heavy sauces or added sugars, it is a nutrient-dense, low-calorie choice. However, due to its salt content, moderation is recommended for individuals controlling sodium intake. Turkish Salad is a refreshing accompaniment to grilled meats or enjoyed on its own as a light, fulfilling meal. Its simplicity and health benefits make it a beloved staple in Turkish cuisine.
