Apple and Red Onion Salad
Fresh apple and red onion salad with sumac. A quick and easy side dish for a Middle Eastern feast, mezze table, and grilled dishes.
Equipment
- 1 stainless steel bowl
Ingredients
- 2 tart apples
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 tbsp wine vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 tsp sumac
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cut the apples in half, remove the cores and slice thinly. Peel the apples if you prefer.
- Peel the red onion and slice it into very thin strips.
- In a bowl, mix the wine vinegar and sugar until the sugar has dissolved.
- Add the apples and red onion to the bowl. Season with sumac.
- Mix vigorously so the surfaces of the onion and apple break down slightly. The salad will start releasing juices. Let it rest at room temperature for at least 10 minutes.
- Finish with finely chopped parsley just before serving.
Notes
The salad keeps well in the fridge for next day.
Add a splash of olive oil if you want a softer mouthfeel.
Pairs perfectly with grilled lamb, chicken, and falafel.
