The Marmara, Aegean and Mediterranean cuisines are very rich in vegetables, fresh herbs, beans and fish. Olive oil is most widely used. There are many different kind of salads in these cuisines and they are consumed alot. Actually, salads are known through out the world and every region (or nation) has their own salads; such as "Ceasar Salad", "Greek Salad", "Tai Cucumber Salad" and "German Cucumber Salad with vinegar" etc. Healthy salad start with a variety of colorful veggies, fruits, beans, and mixed greens.
We, Turks, consume salads in the lunch or dinners alot. Also salads are an important part of the meze (side dish) spread at "Kebab Houses" (BBQ Restaurants) in Turkey. When you go to a kebab restaurant in any city of the Turkey, the waiter brings a salad (such as Gavurdağı Salad, Sepherd salad, Mediterranean Salad etc.) and lavash bread to the table without asking you.
Gavurdağı Salatası is yet another light salad of Turkish cuisine. It is also called as "Spoon Salad". This salad is the "must-have salad" of all kebab restaurants’ menus. When you go to a kebab restaurant especially in Adana city, Mersin city, Gaziantep city, and Hatay city, the waiter brings Gavurdağı Salad and lavash bread to the table without asking you. You can consider it as ‚on the house salad. It is the most common Turkish salad variety of the south and southeast region of Turkey.
In this post, we are going to share our "Turkish Gavurdagi Salad" with you. We are sure that when you try it, you like it alot.
What is Turkish Gavurdagi Salad (Gavurdağı Salatası)!
Gavurdağı salad (or spoon salad) is a very popular salad and you can find it very easily through out the Turkey (especially in the south and southeast region of Turkey). The main ingredients of this salad are juicy tomatoes, spring onions, normal onion, green pepper, parsley, pomegranate syrup (pomegranate molasses), and crushed walnut halves. When we translate this salad’s name into English, it may sound really funny to you. It translates as "Gavur Mountain Salad". Gavurdağı Salad received its name from the mountain located between Adana city and the Ceyhan River (also this mountain is part of the Tarsus mountains in Southeast part of the Turkey).

This salad also known "Spoon Salad" |
This delicious salad is from the Gaziantep region, where many wonderfully delicious and spicy Turkish dishes come from. Once the foreigners first see this delicious salad, it may look like a dip more than a salad. The simplicity of the core ingredients lets you think that it is a dip; however, it is a very refreshing and tasty salad. Once you combine the Turkish juicy tomatoes and pomegranate syrup (pomegranate molasses) with any salad, you get a very refreshing blend. We are sure that, you love the marriage of sweet and juicy tomatoes with the crunchy walnuts in this salad; the sweet and sour pomegranate molasses dressing really complements this salad too.
We like to eat this salad with Adana Kebab (Adana meat ball - kofte kebab). Gavurdağı Salad and Adana Kebab suit well to each other by taste. If you are visiting the southern part of Turkey and stop by a kebab restaurant, this famous Turkish salad will be on your table for sure. However, if you are visiting other cities such as Istanbul, İzmir, Antalya or Ankara you need to ask the waiter if they have it or not. Usually, most kebab restaurants put this delicious salad on their menu.
