"From turkishcookbook.com. A salad from Istanbul. Note: because fresh cherries are out of season (shame, because Rainier cherries from Washington state would be amazing in this recipe!) I replaced them with sweet dried cherries. You also have the option of substituting other seasonal fruit: peaches, pears, etc. in either fresh or dried form. Turkish feta subbed for the tulum cheese (the latter which I've yet to find here locally)."

This is really good with dried cherries. But fresh cherries it's ridiculously sublime!!! The sweet cherries at the market were Northwest cherries from Washington. Rem.Brandt is the company. I'm in heaven. Thank you, CG!!

A winner of a salad! So easy, so simple, so delicious! I did use dried cherries. I used a small shallot for the onion & I sprinkled Romano on top for the cheese. This will show up regularly. I can't wait to try it with fresh cherries. Thanks, CG! Made for NA/ME Tag Spring 2014.
