Introduction
This fresh and simple salad is sometimes the only salad you need at a (Turkish) Cypriot barbecue, especially if the meat of choice is barbecued lamb. In Cypriot cuisine, sumac is mainly used as a seasoning and topper for meze dishes and salads. The citrusy tartness of the sumac really complements grilled meat and fish, especially when it mixes with the slightly sweet, yet tart flavours of the salad dressing. The salad is usually stuffed into a pitta bread with the lamb and a generous dollop of Cacık (Yoghurt, Mint & Cucumber Dip) or Hummus (Chickpea & Tahini Dip).
