Ingredients

• 400 grams cooked white beans (e.g., cannellini or navy beans)
• 1 medium red onion
• 1 bunch parsley
• 1 large tomato
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sumac
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 pieces hard-boiled eggs (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the red onion into half-moons. Soak the slices in cold water for 5 minutes to reduce their sharpness, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

Rinse and finely chop the parsley. Set aside.

Step 3

Dice the tomato into small cubes. You can remove the seeds if you prefer a less watery salad.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the cooked white beans, drained red onion slices, chopped parsley, and diced tomato.

Step 5

In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, sumac, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the bean mixture and gently toss to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.

Step 7

If using hard-boiled eggs, peel and slice them in half or into quarters. Arrange the slices on top of the salad as a garnish.

Step 8

Transfer the Piyaz to a serving platter or bowl. Serve immediately, or let it sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
