This easy popular Turkish salad called piyaz, or more accurately fasulye piayzi, is made with simple ingredients including white beans, tomatoes, onions, parsley and garlic. A light vinaigrette with fresh lemon juice and a good dash of sumac<\/a> brings this satisfying white bean salad together. Ready in 10 minutes or less. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fasulye piyazi, aka bean salad with a Turkish twist!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’ve eaten my fair share of bean salads<\/a>, tossed in bold Mediterranean seasonings and mixed with lemony dressings. But  when I came across piyaz, or fasulye piyazi, in Turkey a few years ago, it quickly became a favorite (it’s for sure up there with this loaded white bean salad<\/a>).   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Fasulye” means beans and “Piyaz” is actually Persian for onions. You guessed it, fasulye piyazi translates to beans and onions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, piyaz (pronounced pee-AHZ’), for short, is a Turkish salad that makes a star of humble white beans, often combined with red onions, tomato, garlic, and parsley. The dressing in this recipe is a bright mixture of red wine vinegar, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil<\/a>, and sumac–or you can try Tahinli Fasulye Piyazı<\/a><\/em>, a version with a creamy tahini dressing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sumac<\/a> is the prominent spice here, adding tang, depth, and a beautiful crimson hue. (Sadly, I don’t have a good substitute for you. Trust me, you’ll want to grab a good bottle of sumac<\/a> for this one.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
