Gavurdağ Salad with Walnuts is a Turkish chopped salad made with tomatoes, cucumber, peppers, onion, walnuts and pomegranate molasses. The vegetables are cut small, giving it a finer texture and a tangy, nutty flavor.
To make Gavurdağ Salad with Walnuts, finely chop tomatoes, cucumber, green pepper and onion, then toss them with crumbled walnuts, pomegranate molasses, olive oil and salt. Mix it close to serving time so the vegetables stay crisp.
No, Gavurdağ Salad with Walnuts is usually chopped more finely and gets its distinctive character from walnuts and pomegranate molasses. Turkish shepherd salad often has larger vegetable pieces and does not rely on those two ingredients.
Usually, Gavurdağ Salad with Walnuts is not spicy; it is typically made with mild green peppers. Some cooks add a hot pepper, so ask about the pepper used or leave it out when preparing the salad at home.
Yes, you can make Gavurdağ Salad with Walnuts without pomegranate molasses, but it will lose some of its signature sweet-tart flavor. A little lemon juice can provide acidity, though it tastes sharper and is not an exact substitute.
The fine chop is a defining feature of Gavurdağ Salad with Walnuts: it lets the pomegranate molasses coat the vegetables and distributes walnut pieces throughout the salad. Aim for small, even pieces rather than mashing the tomatoes.
Gavurdağ Salad with Walnuts pairs especially well with kebabs, grilled meats and lahmacun. Its tart dressing and fresh vegetables balance rich, savory mains, and it can also be served as part of a Turkish meze spread.
Yes, you can chop the vegetables for Gavurdağ Salad with Walnuts ahead, but keep them chilled and add the walnuts and dressing shortly before serving. This helps prevent watery vegetables and keeps the walnuts from turning soft.
To keep Gavurdağ Salad with Walnuts from getting watery, chop the tomatoes shortly before serving and add salt and pomegranate molasses at the end. Use firm tomatoes, and drain away excess liquid if the chopped vegetables release a lot.
Store leftover Gavurdağ Salad with Walnuts in a covered container in the refrigerator and eat it within about a day. The tomatoes release liquid and the walnuts soften during storage, so the salad is best freshly made.

Gavurdağ Salad with Walnuts is a finely chopped salad associated with Gaziantep and southeastern Turkish cooking. Tomato, cucumber, green pepper and onion are tossed with walnuts and pomegranate molasses, which gives the salad its characteristic sweet-sour edge. The small dice lets the dressing coat the vegetables and brings a little walnut crunch to each bite.
In Turkey, it is commonly served as a meze or side dish alongside kebabs and other grilled foods; it also works well with a simple home-cooked meal. Juicy vegetables keep it fresh, while walnuts make it more substantial. It provides fibre as well as fats from the nuts; a 100 g portion has 2.2 g of fibre. For a lighter, less tangy version, use the pomegranate molasses sparingly and mix just before serving.
