Bastirma Summer Salad


How to make our elegant Ohanyan’s Bastirma Summer Salad!

Start with a good base of mixed greens. We suggest using a combination of premium spring mix, some arugula, and romaine for an extra crunch.

Then add half a medium red onion, sliced thin for color and texture.

Next, add, 1/2 of a large English cucumber or 3 to 4 Persian cucumbers, diced evenly.

Next, add 1 cup to 1 1/2 cups of sliced Heirloom cherry tomatoes for a splash of color.

Next, add a good handful of flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped (around 1 cup) and one small bunch of fresh mint, finely chopped (around 1/3 cup) to give the salad its nice fresh flavor.

Now, add 1/3 cup or 3 ounces of crumbled creamy feta.

Finally, add delicious 3 to 4 ounces of sliced Ohanyan’s Bastirma to add a savory depth to the salad.

Now, for the dressing: mix 1/3 cup of extra virgin olive oil, juice of 1 large lemon or 1/3 cup of lemon juice, 2 teaspoons of Dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional), 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 2 cloves of garlic – minced fine, salt and pepper to taste.

Shake well and adjust to your liking.
