Ingredients

• 4 large ripe tomatoes
• 1 medium cucumber
• 1 small red onion
• 0.5 bunch flat-leaf parsley
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon sumac (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the tomatoes, cucumber, and parsley.

Step 2

Dice the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Peel the cucumber (optional) and slice it into thin half-moons, then add it to the bowl.

Step 4

Peel the red onion and slice it thinly. If desired, soak the onion slices in cold water for 5-10 minutes to reduce their sharpness. Drain well before adding to the bowl.

Step 5

Roughly chop the parsley leaves and discard the stems. Add the parsley to the salad.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, sumac (if using), salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to combine, ensuring the ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice, if needed.

Step 9

Transfer the salad to a serving platter or bowl and enjoy immediately.
