2 to 3 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Preparation Steps

Place diced tomatoes for a few minutes in a colander to release excess liquid.
In a large bowl, place the diced tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and bell peppers.
To flavor, add fresh herbs, dried mint, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Add sumac. Finally, add lime juice, and a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Toss to combine.
If you have the time, cover and chill this salad in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour for best taste.

Notes

Vegetables for this salad need to be diced very small or chopped for best texture and flavor. For a crunchier salad, add lime juice and olive oil right before serving.
