To soften the pungency of Olive Oil Thyme Salad, briefly soak the thyme leaves in cold water, then dry them thoroughly. Lemon juice and thinly sliced onion can also balance the herb's strong, savory flavor.
What should you serve with Olive Oil Thyme Salad?
Serve Olive Oil Thyme Salad as a small side with grilled vegetables, beans, or other savory dishes. It also works as part of a mezze spread, with bread for soaking up the olive-oil dressing.
How long does Olive Oil Thyme Salad keep in the fridge?
Olive Oil Thyme Salad is best eaten soon after it is dressed. Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container and use them promptly, since the fresh thyme wilts and the dressing can make the leaves lose their texture.

What is Olive Oil Thyme Salad?
Olive Oil Thyme Salad is a Turkish-style herb salad built around fresh thyme and olive oil, with preparations varying by region and by the kind of thyme used. Some versions add lemon or other fresh ingredients, but the herb’s aromatic, slightly peppery character is the defining feature.
It works well as a small meze, alongside grilled vegetables or meat, or with bread to soak up the dressing. The olive oil makes it a source of monounsaturated fats, while the herbs contribute fibre and vitamin K; it is more of a flavourful side than a protein-rich main. For a lighter serving, use a modest amount of oil and pair it with beans or another filling dish.
