Ingredients
- 4 roma tomatoes small diced (if not removing the seeds, place the chunks in a colander for about 5 minutes to release excess juices. But if you have 5- minutes to spare, I recommend you remove the seeds!) - You can use cherry tomatoes as an alternative but make sure to small-dice them.
- 1 English cucumber or 4 small Persian cucumbers, small diced (no need to peel)- Field cucumbers will work in a pinch, but make sure to peel and seed them.
- ½ cup finely chopped red onions or yellow onions if you prefer
- 3 tablespoon EACH chopped fresh parsley, mint, and dill Fresh cilantro can be used as well.
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon sumac or more to taste (optional) - Alternatively, use lemon zest, lemon pepper, coriander, or za’atar.
- 4 tablespoon fresh lemon juice OR lime juice can be used as a substitute and gives this salad a better tangy taste.
- 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil You can also try avocado oil or another mild-flavored oil.
Instructions
- Prep all the ingredients! Then, place the diced tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions into a large bowl.
- Next, add the fresh herbs, and a good pinch of salt and pepper to the veggie mixture. Add sumac and then lime juice and EVOO, tossing everything together to combine. TIP: For a crunchier texture, only add lime juice and EVOO about 15 minutes before serving the salad.
- If you have time, cover and chill this salad in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour for the best flavor.
