Ձիթապտղով և ընկույզով աղցան (Հովիվի ընթրիք)

This unique and flavorful salad is often referred to as the Musalertsi Shepherd’s Dinner (dinner for a shepherd of Musa Ler). This is most likely because olives and walnuts, the main ingredients, are abundantly available and accessible throughout the mountainous region and the salad offered a convenient, filling, and nutritious meal for those working the land. Luckily, this dish, created perhaps out of utility, is delicious as well. While it can be enjoyed on its own, it is also a great addition to a holiday spread, brightening up the table with its festive colors!
