“One weekend I recreated the meals I would get from my favorite Mediterranean fast food joint, Chickpeas. One of the things I really loved about that restaurant was the variety of salads you got to add to your plate including Salatet Malfouf, Turkish Kebab Salad, Sumac Onions, Tabouli, and a carrot salad very similar to this.” – April Ferre
