- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions
Step 1
Thoroughly wash and dry the parsley. Remove the thick stems and finely chop the leaves. Place the chopped parsley in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Peel the red onion and slice it very thinly into half-moons. To mellow its flavor, soak the onion slices in cold water for 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry. Add the onions to the bowl with the parsley.
Step 3
Halve or quarter the cherry tomatoes, depending on their size, and add them to the bowl.
Step 4
Sprinkle the sumac evenly over the salad ingredients in the bowl.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Pour the dressing over the salad.
Step 6
Gently toss the salad to coat the ingredients with the dressing evenly.
Step 7
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or a pinch of sumac as desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a side dish or appetizer. Enjoy the tangy and fresh flavors of this simple yet delicious salad!
