SALAD

The Hatay Salad at Nomads Istanbul is more than just a simple starter — it is a vibrant reflection of the rich culinary traditions of Southern Turkey. Originating from the Hatay region, known for its diverse flavors and Mediterranean influences, this refreshing salad combines fresh, local ingredients to deliver a perfect balance of taste and nutrition.

Prepared with juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and fresh purslane, the salad is enriched with scallions, parsley, and fragrant mint, creating a light yet flavorful base. To add a unique texture and depth, it is topped with crunchy walnuts. The final touch comes from the sweet and tangy pomegranate syrup and a sprinkle of sumac, which elevate the salad with a zesty, refreshing flavor.

Perfect as a starter or a side dish, the Hatay Salad is not only healthy and vegetarian-friendly but also a colorful celebration of Mediterranean cuisine. Served as part of our authentic Turkish mezze selection, it’s a must-try for anyone seeking a fresh and traditional taste of Anatolia in the heart of Istanbul.
