Fruits and Veggies Monday - Turkish Salad
I love salad, It's always present in our meals almost everyday. The good thing about making your own salad aside from knowing "what's in there" is You can also do it with your personal choice according to the availability of your veggies.
Here is a classic salad with a wonderful combination of textures and flavors. This Refreshing salad is called Turkish salad, I made a bit of a twist by adding pomegranate seeds and it taste successful.
Ingredients
- Iceberg lettuce
- Tomato (medium size)
- Cucumber
- Onion
- Red or green capsicum
- Pomegranate
For The Dressing
- Extra virgin Olive oil (2 Tbsp)
- Lemon juice (2Tbsp)
- Garlic clove (1 grated or chopped)
- Salt and ground Black pepper
Preparations
- Chopped lettuce, capsicum, tomatoes and cucumbers into bite size.
- Slice the onion finely.
- Place the vegetables and pomegranate seeds in a large bowl.
- Make the dressing by combining olive oil, lemon juice and garlic in a small bowl, (you can also add parsley or mint in the dressing if you wish). Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss lightly.

This salad looks perfect, it is just right at these high temperatures outside!
Indeed. Especially where we live right now (UAE), its whooping 36 degrees with a real feel of 46 degrees celcius.

Lovely salad @sherylneil, I especially love the addition of pomegranates, so refreshing!
I am right there with you on the salad weather, though I think as hot is it is here you've got it even hotter there! I bet that pomegranate is a delicious pop of flavor with all those refreshing veggies.
Wow so yummy she she.
I love the presentation. 💞
@sherylneil, love your salad. I need to make my own dressing, my husband likes Italian dressing. This will be my next project. Thanks @sherylneil.
