Onion Salad - Salatat Baqduness Wa Bassal

Submitted by Allea

"When I was in Turkey, this was served on the side along with Cacik when kebabs were ordered. I found this recipe in "Mediterranean Street Food" by Anissa Helou and adjusted it to how I remember eating it."

 

• Ready In: 10mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced (I use a white onion)
• 14.79 ml ground sumac
• 14.79 ml lemon juice
• 14.79 ml extra virgin olive oil
• salt

directions

1. Soak the onions in hot water for about 5 minutes. This will soften them slightly and help take out the sharpness of the onion.
2. Drain and spread out on a paper towel. Blot dry.
3. Put onions in a bowl and add sumac, lemon juice, and olive oil. Mix and serve.
4. Ingredients should be adjusted to taste perhaps adding black pepper. I happen to like a lot of lemon juice and sumac.
