Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 bunches fresh parsley
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 tablespoon sumac
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Thoroughly wash and dry the parsley. Remove the thick stems and finely chop the leaves. Place the chopped parsley in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the red onion and slice it very thinly into half-moons. To mellow its flavor, soak the onion slices in cold water for 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry. Add the onions to the bowl with the parsley.
Halve or quarter the cherry tomatoes, depending on their size, and add them to the bowl.
Sprinkle the sumac evenly over the salad ingredients in the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Pour the dressing over the salad.
Gently toss the salad to coat the ingredients with the dressing evenly.
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or a pinch of sumac as desired.
Serve immediately as a side dish or appetizer. Enjoy the tangy and fresh flavors of this simple yet delicious salad!
