Ezme Salatasi (Turkish Tomato Salad)
I'm going to admit right up front that I'm not sure whether I'm posting this photo because I liked the recipe or because I wanted to show off the bowl that I got in a little art gallery in Hotchkiss, Colorado. Don't get me wrong. The salad was good--light and cool and it really went well with the hummus and baba ganoush I made for dinner last night. But the bowl--mocha brown with shiny, copper-colored stripes of glazing--is a work of art. Too bad that pesky salad is covering most of it up!
Ezme Salatasi (Turkish Tomato Salad)
2 large tomatoes (or 4 medium), chopped
1/2 large cucumber, peeled and diced
1/2 yellow pepper, seeded and chopped
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Spicy V-8 (or tomato juice)
generous grating black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cumin
salt to taste (optional)
Combine all ingredients and mix well. Serve immediately or chill for an hour. Try it in a pita with hummus or on top of a green salad.

Lovely bowl and delicious looking salad.
Yum! Susan this looks great--so pretty with all of the colors. And, it is the perfect no-cook meal that I have been looking for! It is a sticky humid 97 here in MN, and cooking is the last thing in the world that I want to do--this is dinner tomorrow evening for sure!

beautiful - this would be great for the party I'm going to this weekend. thanks!
It all looks wonderful, the bowl and what is in it.
Yes, this our very classic salad during summer. Looks delicious!

That salad looks amazing..
Post a pic of the empty bowl!
Beautiful bowl. And the salad is gorgeous too.
This is a beautiful salad and a beautiful bowl! This would be great to eat in this humid, nasty weather.
Great photography, as usual, nice looking bowl, lovely fresh salad, I made it last night. Just what I was looking for, our weather in U.K. in the 80s (that's pretty hot for us).
I'm always looking for something new to make hummus more exciting--the same cucumber and pita bread gets boring. I'll try this soon. Thanks!
I made this tonight for my family and it was great! The bowl I served it in was one I could trust with a two year old around, so the presentation wasn't nearly as nice, but delectable nonetheless.
Hi there, in Turkish ezme means puree. A Turkish ezme salad is very different from the one you have posted which is probably closer to a coban, (shepherds) salad. afiyet olsun...
