- This salad will stay good in the fridge for 4-5 days. It's not suitable for freezing.
- If you can get hold of the yellow banana peppers (popular in Turkey) use those.
- You can also add some chilli peppers like Serrano or Jalapeño to make this salad a spicy one.
- Add black olives to the salad for a salty, fruity note
- Add cubes of Peynir cheese or Feta cheese.
- Mix up the herbs by adding a little mint or dill alongside parsley and cilantro.
- The yoghurt sauce is not strictly traditional, but works so well.
- Sprinkle over some pul biber or Aleppo pepper flakes for a mild smoky spice.
