If the outside of the surk cheese is very dry, remove the thin rind with a knife and crumble the inside.
Cut the tomatoes and cucumber into small cubes.
Finely chop the scallions, parsley, and fresh mint.
Mix the surk cheese, tomatoes, cucumber, scallions, parsley, and mint in a bowl.
Add the olive oil, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes, then rest the salad for 5 minutes.
💡 Tip: If the surk is very dry, loosen it with the tomato juices rather than adding more olive oil; too much oil makes the spiced curd feel heavy.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve surk salad on a breakfast tray with optional warm lavash, olives, and tea.
