Report
Sumac Onions, also known as Turkish Red Onion Salad, are essential to many Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes.

Ingredients
- 1 large red onion
- 1 teaspoon sumac
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon chili flakes
- 2 tablespoon chopped parsley
Instructions
- Begin by cutting your red onions in half and then thinly slice them into half-moons. The thinner, the better, as this will allow the flavors to fully absorb into the onions. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for consistency.
- Place the sliced onions in a large mixing bowl.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of sumac over the onions along with salt, flaked chili, and chopped parsley, then toss everything together until the onions are evenly covered with sumac.
- Although you can serve the onions right away, letting them sit for about 10-15 minutes allows the flavors to meld together.

Notes
- Sumac loses its flavor over time, so make sure you're using fresh, high-quality sumac for the best results. If your Sumac has been sitting in your pantry for years, it’s time for an upgrade.
- Using a very sharp knife or mandolin for thinly sliced onions is essential.
- Sumac onions actually improve the longer they sit. If you’re preparing for a party or just like meal prepping, you can make them up to a day in advance and store them in the fridge. Just give them a good stir before serving.
- If your onions are too strong, soak them in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat them dry before using them in your salad.
