Ezme
Ezme is a vibrant Turkish tomato salad bursting with bright, punchy flavors and a satisfying crunch from finely chopped vegetables. The blend of fresh tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, and parsley creates a harmonious balance of tangy, spicy, and herbal notes, while a touch of sumac adds a subtle earthy depth. This no-cook dish comes together quickly but delivers bold, fresh taste that elevates everything from grilled meats to simple bread. With its lively texture and zesty kick, ezme is the perfect way to brighten any meal.
