For The Salad

  • 1 medium onion (peeled & finely chopped)
  • 1 medium cucumber (washed, seeds removed & finely chopped)

  • Time for the parsley and mint. Mix those, too.
  • Add your dressing ingredients to a ramekin dish or similar and mix before pouring over your shepherd's salad.

Notes

  • As with all of our recipes, calorie count is a rough guide for our shepherd's salad. The amount of dressing you use will affect the calories.
  • Shepherd's salad is also sometimes called choban salad because of its Turkish name, çoban salatası.
  • We add mint leaves and the apple vinegar as an extra just for personal taste. Feel free to leave these out.
