Shepherd's Salad (Turkey) image

Found this in "The BBQ Bible" and I am posting it for ZWT6. There are probably as many versions of this colorful salad as there are Turkish cooks to make it. The basic ingredients are onions, tomatoes and peppers. Here's a more elaborate version that's bursting with Anatolian freshness.

1 medium cucumber
1 medium green bell pepper

Add the oil, 1 tablespoon vinegar and salt and pepper and toss gently but thoroughly to mix. Correct the seasoning, adding salt and pepper or vinegar as necessary; the salad should be highly seasoned.
