Ingredients

  • 1 medium sized red onion sliced thin
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon sumac
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 small bunch fresh parsley leaves roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a bowl and toss to combine.
  • Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed (more salt or more sumac, for example).
  • Let marinated while you prepare the rest of your meal.

Notes

  • Sumac onion salad will last covered in the refrigerator for 2 days.
  • Other substitutions you can do is add fresh mint or cilantro and a za'atar in addition to sumac.
  • Use a mandolin for super thin onion slices.
  • If the onion is too strong, soak the onion slices in cold water for 10 minutes to remove some of the sharpness.
