Tomato Salad - Domates Salatasi

"This salad goes well with most Turkish meals, particularly in summer when tomatoes are at their best. You can arrange the salad any way you like, I have listed the way I prefer to arrange the salad. If you wish to peel the tomatoes and cucumber you may however it is not necessary. You can make this salad one hour before serving. Original recipe comes from a book called "Turkish Cookbook" by Tess Mallos"

  1. I made an array of salads for a BBQ today for family and friends. One daughter said, just after she arrived, 'Mum, that tomato salad is so beautiful'. But it's so much more than a pretty-face It's oh-so-easy to make and very delicious too. I'd hoped to have some leftovers, but there weren't any. Thanks for posting a great recipe.
     
  2. Good salad. I love most of Tess Mallos' recipes. This was a nice change for a salad.
     
  3. my grandma made this as a sandwich topping but just with vinger and olive oil
     
  4. This was a nice cucumber and tomato salad. Used parsley and mint from my herb garden. Very fresh and refreshing salad. I do think next time I might add a little feta cheese, such feel that it would make it an even better salad.
     
  5. Oops...I forgot to rate!

  1. I took inspiration from darang61's photo and served mine as a chopped salad. I replaced the olives with red capsicum and cut back on the olive oil.It was a great addition to our BBQ and made a delightful side to the grilled fish I had for lunch today. I'll make this again over summer....next time I'll add a tin of chickpeas and take to work for lunch :)
