Servings 12 servings
Ingredients
- 2 yellow onions
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons sumac
- 3 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Chop: Slice the onions into half moon shapes either lenghtwise or crosswise, and place into a medium bowl. Pour vinegar and toss with hands, pressing the onions slightly.
- Add: Add finely chopped parsley and sumac. Toss to combine.
Notes
Storage: Store sumac onion salad in an airtight container like a wide-mouth mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. The onions will soften gradually and release juices but they will still be delicious and safe to consume.
Helpful Tips:
- Use a mandoline slicer. If you want ultra-thin onion slices that are uniform, use a mandoline slicer to guarantee smooth cuts.
- Know your cuts: If you want a sweeter, milder flavor from the onions, cut them lengthwise (with the grain) rather than crosswise (against the grain), as that will give a sharper taste.
- Soften the onions. Drizzle the vinegar over the onions and toss them with your hands, gently pressing and squeezing them to release their juices and soften them.
- Marinate overnight. For maximum flavor, let the onions marinate overnight to allow them to soften by the vinegar and infused by sumac.
