Armenian Salad
2 servings
12 minutes
Armenian salad is a harmony of freshness and vibrant flavors. Its base includes greens, parsley, cicmati, and arugula that add zest to the salad. The sweetness of tomatoes and bell peppers is complemented by the slight saltiness of lightly salted suluguni cheese. The tenderness of quail eggs adds textural richness, while sumac brings an Eastern note with a subtle tang. A dressing of sour cream and olive oil unites the ingredients, creating a soft, creamy sensation. This salad serves as a light appetizer or side dish to main courses and pairs wonderfully with meat and fish.
