Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams cooked white beans (e.g., cannellini or navy beans)
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 bunch parsley
- 1 large tomato
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sumac
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pieces hard-boiled eggs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the red onion into half-moons. Soak the slices in cold water for 5 minutes to reduce their sharpness, then drain and set aside.
Rinse and finely chop the parsley. Set aside.
Dice the tomato into small cubes. You can remove the seeds if you prefer a less watery salad.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked white beans, drained red onion slices, chopped parsley, and diced tomato.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, sumac, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the bean mixture and gently toss to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
If using hard-boiled eggs, peel and slice them in half or into quarters. Arrange the slices on top of the salad as a garnish.
Transfer the Piyaz to a serving platter or bowl. Serve immediately, or let it sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
