Vegan Turkish Kisir Salad

Kisir is a Turkish salad that’s often served as a mezze, a small dish. But you can also eat it as a lunch salad or for dinner. On this page I’m sharing the recipe for vegan Turkish Kisir salad. I didn’t need to change anything in the traditional recipe to make it vegan, this recipe is originally vegan. The Kisir salad contains many vegetables, and bulgur.

There are all kinds of varieties on Kisir, as you can choose yourself which vegetables you want to add. I always think lettuce, tomato and cucumber make a great refreshing Kisir salad. I topped this salad with parsley, but you can also use fresh mint. Scroll down for the recipe of this vegan Turkish Kisir salad.
