Mediterranean Parsley Salad Recipe Card
The Mediterranean Parsley Salad combines finely chopped parsley, fresh tomato, red onion, mint, and a touch of green chili. Crumbled feta and dried currants add texture and a subtle sweetness, while a lemon-olive oil dressing with sumac ties the flavors together. The salad has a fresh, slightly tart profile with herbaceous notes, ideal for a light side dish or appetizer served immediately after tossing to preserve its crisp texture.
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.
