I really liked this salad a lot. The combo of flavors is so intriguing and different. I think I will cut back on the parsley next time, just so that the olives stand out a bit more. I used aleppo pepper. This was great as a stand alone salad. We also used it to add more flavor to our lamb stuffed peppers. Thanks for posting CG! Made for CQ 2017, Turkey

Different, delicious, and bursting with unexpected flavors! I chopped this fairly fine and spread onto homemade (flat) pitas and then tossed on the grill for a few minutes. Divine! This is my favorite type of Culinary Quest discovery. It demonstrates how a few additional ingredient(s) can take pantry staples to new cuisines and flavors. Made for CQ#4.
