Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe tomatoes
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 small red onion
- 0.5 bunch flat-leaf parsley
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon sumac (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the tomatoes, cucumber, and parsley.
Dice the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Peel the cucumber (optional) and slice it into thin half-moons, then add it to the bowl.
Peel the red onion and slice it thinly. If desired, soak the onion slices in cold water for 5-10 minutes to reduce their sharpness. Drain well before adding to the bowl.
Roughly chop the parsley leaves and discard the stems. Add the parsley to the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, sumac (if using), salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to combine, ensuring the ingredients are evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice, if needed.
Transfer the salad to a serving platter or bowl and enjoy immediately.
