Dice the tomatoes into chunks and slice the radishes thinly, adding both to the bowl with the lettuce and cucumber.

Step 9

Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the salad.

Step 10

Chop the parsley and mint leaves finely, then add them to the salad for fresh aroma.

Step 11

In a small bowl, whisk together the sumac, lemon juice, salt, ground black pepper, and extra virgin olive oil to make the dressing.

Step 12

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss everything together to evenly distribute the flavors.
