Instructions
- Cut the tomatoes and cucumbers into small, even dice, removing the wettest seeds.
- Finely slice the red onion and rinse it quickly under cold water to mellow its flavour.
- Finely chop the coriander, mint and green chili.
- In a salad bowl, mix all the vegetables and herbs.
- Make the dressing by whisking the lemon juice with the olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the salad, toss gently and sprinkle with sumac. Let it rest 10 minutes before serving.
Variations and tips
Mint-only version. Without coriander, with double the fresh mint, for a more refreshing flavour.
