Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 2 Red onions – cut into thin slices, crosswise or lengthwise
- ¼ cup Fresh parsley – roughly chopped
- 2 tsp Sumac
- 2 tbsp Red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt – to taste
Instructions
- Mix: In a bowl, combine the sliced onions, chopped parsley, sumac, red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and a pinch of kosher salt. Use your hands to gently massage the ingredients together, ensuring the onion slices are well coated and separated for even flavor absorption.
- Marinate: Cover the bowl and let the mixture marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes. This resting time allows the onions to soften slightly and absorb the tangy and aromatic flavors, making the salad both flavorful and mellow.
Notes
- For milder onions, soak the sliced onions in cold water for 10 minutes before mixing.
- Sumac adds a tangy citrus note; if unavailable, a small squeeze of lemon juice can be added for additional brightness.
- This salad pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, kebabs, or mezze platters.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Adjust salt quantities according to taste preferences.
