Ingredients

  • 1 large white onion (peeled )
  • 1 tablespoon parsley (very roughly chopped)
  • 2 teaspoons sumac
  • ½ small lemon (juice of)
  • ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)

  • Now place the flat side of the onion down and slice it thinly into half moons.
  • Separate the sliced onion layers, add them to your bowl and sprinkle with salt.
  • Stir them around before adding your sumac and mixing it so that all of your onion slices are evenly coated.

  • When you are ready to serve your sumac onion salad, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Our sumac onion salad recipe is made with the main ingredients that you most often get when they are served in kebab houses.
  • It is meant to be served immediately so that it is still crisp and fresh.
  • Occasionally, depending on what we are eating with our sumac onions, we will also add a dressing of extra virgin olive oil and near ekşisi (pomegranate molasses).
  • Nutritional values are calculated by a 3rd party API and are meant as a rough guide. Please do your own due diligence if you have any special dietary requirements.
