- Cuisine: Middle Eastern
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 red onion, medium-sized, cut across horizontally into two halves, then thinly sliced
- 1 small handful of parsley, chopped
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon ground sumac
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- pinch of red chili flakes, optional
Note: if raw onion is too sharp for your taste, soak slices in cool water for 10 minutes, then drain.
Instructions
Add onions to a jar or bowl. Add the lemon, olive oil, sumac, salt, and chile flakes if using. Mix, massaging gently. Stir in the parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning.
While the onions are ready to use immediately, if possible, let sit for at least 30 minutes to blend the flavors. Sumac Onion Salad is even better the next day and will keep for several days, although the parsley will deteriorate.
