Description
A refreshing and flavorful salad featuring thinly sliced red onions, sumac, and fresh herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon sumac
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced red onion and salt. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to soften the onion and draw out excess moisture.

- Add the drained onions to the bowl and toss to coat them in the dressing.
- Gently fold in the chopped parsley and cherry tomatoes, if using.
- Let the salad sit for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing.
- Substitute the parsley with fresh mint for a different flavor profile.
