About

This is one of those perfect dishes. It is full of sweet and juicy vegetables that are complemented with a beautifully tangy dressing that is made with both lemon and sumac. It looks fantastic and, with all the different textures, it is interesting to eat, too. It is extremely refreshing on a hot day and on cold days it brings the sunshine straight to you. While delicious eaten on its own, it is also great with any grilled meat, charred halloumi or a fragrant stew.
