This salad, adapted from one in Unforgettable: The Bold Flavors of Paula Wolfert's Renegade Life (Mortar and Pestle Press; $35), is a classic kebab accompaniment. Wolfert learned how to make it from a master of kebabs, Burhan Çagdas of Gaziantep, Turkey.
This recipe goes with: Pomegranate-Glazed Pork Skewers with Dill-Onion Marinade
