Turkish Shepherd's Salad image

What distinguishes this summer salad are all the fresh herbs and the sumac and red pepper used to season it. You can buy these spices at Middle Eastern markets or from online retailers like Penzey's. The recipe is adapted from one in "The Little Foods of the Mediterranean," by Clifford A. Wright.
