Mediterranean Parsley Salad Recipe Card
Description
The Mediterranean Parsley Salad Recipe Card showcases a vibrant mix of chopped parsley, mint leaves, thinly sliced red onion, diced Roma tomatoes, and green chili for mild heat. Crumbled feta cheese provides creamy saltiness, contrasted by the sweet bursts from currants or dried cranberries. A dressing of olive oil, fresh lemon juice, kosher salt, black pepper, and sumac is whisked and mixed into the salad just before serving to keep the herbs crisp and bright. The flavors balance herbaceous freshness and acidity with a slight sweetness and mild spice. It works well as a refreshing side for grilled meats or as a standalone salad in warm weather. The key to success is tossing the salad with dressing only at the last moment to maintain texture and prevent wilting. Adding the dried fruits and cheese just prior to serving keeps them distinct. This salad is not suited to freezing and is best consumed fresh or within a day if prepared ahead without dressing.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup parsley 1 bunch, roughly chopped
- ½ cup red onion thinly sliced, into ¼ half moons
- 2 Roma tomato seeded and diced
- ¼ cup feta cheese crumbled
- 2-3 Tbsp currants died or dried cranberries also work well
- 4-6 mint fresh chopped ( 18-24 leaves, sprigs
- 1 green chili minced, fresh chopped, jalapeño will work: cored and seeded
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- 1 Tbsp lemon fresh squeezed
- ⅛ tsp. black pepper cracked
- ⅛ tsp sumac
Instructions
- In a small bowl mix together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper and sumac. Whisk vigorously to combine.
- In a salad bowl toss together parsley with the rest of the ingredients.
- Add the olive oil mixture and toss until completely coated.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Prepare the parsley, vegetables, and cheese in advance but add the dressing only right before serving to keep the salad crisp.
- If taking this salad on the go, pack components separately and combine just before eating.
- Do not freeze this salad as the herbs and tomatoes will lose their texture and freshness.
- Consume leftovers within a day for best quality; flavor and texture degrade after extended storage.
