Salata a la Turka similar to the Turkish shepherd’s salad or the Israeli chopped salad appears at summer-time tables on the island of Rhodes. This colourful salad is at its best especially in the summer when the tomatoes are ripe, juicy and at their peak and cucumbers crunchy. This simple salad makes a healthy and delicious accompaniment to grilled meat or chicken with lots of warm flatbread to scoop up the tangy lemon and olive oil dressing.
