‍

Step 1

Add Herbs: Mix in the chopped fresh parsley and mint, giving the salad a fresh and aromatic flavor.

Step 3

Season: Sprinkle the sumac over the salad. This key ingredient adds a tangy, lemony flavor that is characteristic of Middle Eastern cuisine.

Step 4

Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and olive oil. This simple dressing will complement the sumac and bring the salad together.

‍

Step 5

Combine: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well mixed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
