Living in Turkey, my main 'job', aside from kitchen duties, is to learn Turkish! I started with Azerbaijani, which I was falsely led to believe is 'the same'. It is not. There are BIG differences between the two, but as a language-lover, I've enjoyed Turkish class very much! Class is 4 hours everyday, and I get hungry - this salad holds well in my bag (outside of the fridge for sometimes up to 3+hours) and is packed with healthy protein!
