Aveluk Salad with Matsoni
An original Armenian-style appetizer for a festive table! Wondering what new and unusual dish to make for a special occasion? I asked myself the same thing and came across this original recipe for a traditional Armenian dish. Aveluk is wild (horse) sorrel that's been dried in braids. As it dries, it ferments, losing its bitterness and taking on an interesting, distinctive flavor. Try this salad of boiled aveluk dressed with a matsoni (Armenian yogurt) sauce. It's delicious!
