Orange, Red Onion and Olive Salad
Recipe
Orange, Red Onion and Olive Salad
This is a refreshing light salad that is unusual because of the sumac used in seasoning it. Sumac is a sour fruity spice that adds a wonderful layer of flavor to any dish it is used on. Avocados are a relatively new import for Turkey so they are not used in any of the Turkish cookbooks I have seen! That being said, avocados are definitely a Tu B’Shevat fruit and go beautifully with this salad. Slice one thinly and mix it gently with the rest of the salad. It adds another color and another layer of flavor.
