"This vibrant and healthy Piyaz Salad is made throughout Turkey / Middle East and gets ready in no time. Red onions and tomatoes work very well with the tangy sumac; it is traditionally enjoyed with Lahmacun (Turkish or Armenian thin pizza with minced/ground meat topping), as well as Turkish meatballs. It is also a lovely salad served with cheese, olives and hummus."

Stir in the chopped tomatoes, parsley and paprika flakes, combine well.

Step 3

Whisk together the extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice and pour over the piyaz salad. Season with more salt (if needed) and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 4

Serve Piyaz Salad with feta cheese, olives and/or hummus for a delicious spread.

Step 5

Piyaz Salad is also the ultimate accompaniment of Lahmacun and Turkish meatballs, kofte.

Lovely combination of vibrant, fresh flavors. The simple dressing let the tomatoes shine. We topped ours with some feta and enjoyed the result of that suggestion. Thank you!

What a refreshing, tasty salad! I used multi-colored grape tomatoes and a sweet onion. I did not have sumac, so used tajin seasoning - it had that desired tartness plus some red pepper kick! Who knew that would work?!

Oh, wow! This salad is incredibly tasty! The sumac-rubbed red onions are the bomb in this dish. We both loved the combo of flavors, which meld so well and so quickly. I served this over a bed of raw spinach. This will be a favorite here, and I'm glad to have found a good use for that big bag of sumac I had in the cupboard!!! Thanks for sharing - this is going into my Best of 2022 file, for Food Friends & Fun.
