Pickled shallot salad meze is a tangy Turkish-style meze centered on shallots pickled in vinegar. Recipes vary, and may add herbs, spices, or oil, so there is no single fixed ingredient list beyond the pickled shallots.
Pickled shallot salad meze is made by preparing shallots with vinegar and salt, then letting the flavors combine. Peel and clean the shallots, drain them before serving, and add herbs or seasoning if you like.
Pickled shallot salad meze is served alongside grilled meat, kebabs, or a spread of other mezes. Its sharp, vinegary taste also works well with grilled fish and vegetables, where it provides a bright contrast.
Pickled shallot salad meze tastes sharp, tangy, and savory, with the shallots bringing a mild onion flavor. Its texture can range from crisp to tender depending on how the shallots were pickled and prepared.
Not exactly: pickled shallots are the preserved ingredient, while pickled shallot salad meze is that ingredient served as a meze. The meze may be drained and seasoned for the table, rather than eaten straight from its pickling liquid.
Yes, you can prepare pickled shallot salad meze ahead so the flavors have time to come together. Keep it covered in the refrigerator and add delicate fresh herbs shortly before serving so they retain their flavor.
To make pickled shallot salad meze less salty, drain the shallots and briefly rinse them before serving. This removes some salty brine, but it can also soften the meze’s strong pickled flavor.
You can freeze pickled shallot salad meze, but the shallots may become soft or watery after thawing. For the best texture at the table, keep it refrigerated and serve it without freezing.
Usually, pickled shallot salad meze is vinegar-pickled, not fermented, so it should not be assumed to contain live probiotic cultures. Vinegar gives it its sour taste, but that alone does not make it a probiotic food.
Yes, pearl onions can stand in for shallots in pickled shallot salad meze, although their flavor and size differ. Choose firm onions and allow for a different texture and onion taste in the finished dish.

Pickled shallot salad meze is a tangy Turkish-style side made with shallots preserved in vinegar. The onions have a sharp, gently sweet flavour and a crisp bite, balanced by the salty edge of the pickling liquid. It is served in small portions as part of a meze spread, rather than as a main dish.
Pair it with grilled meats, kebabs, flatbread or other small plates; it can also brighten a simple meal of grains and vegetables. It is low in calories—32 per 100 g—but can be high in sodium, so a modest serving works well alongside milder, less salty dishes.
