What is Cottage cheese Çingene salad?
Lor peynirli çingene salatası is a Turkish salad of finely chopped tomatoes, cucumber, peppers and onion mixed with lor, a mild, fresh curd cheese. It is associated especially with home cooking in western Turkey, where simple seasonal ingredients are often served without much fuss.
The vegetables bring a juicy crunch, while the soft lor makes the salad creamy without overwhelming its fresh flavour. In Turkey, it may appear at breakfast with bread or alongside a summer meal; elsewhere, serve it as a light lunch or a side with grilled vegetables. It gets much of its character from the vegetables, with some protein from the cheese. For a lighter version, use just a drizzle of olive oil and season after tasting the lor.
