Choban salad
Choban ("shepherd's") salad is a simple, rustic mix of roughly chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, onion and pepper, sometimes with herbs, dressed with vegetable oil. Unlike the Greek version, there's no cheese here — the focus stays on the vegetables themselves. It's a vegetarian dish.
It's served cold as a light accompaniment to meat and hot dishes — the freshness of the vegetables balances heavier food on the table. It suits anyone wanting a plain vegetable salad without extra additions.
