Ingredients

1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 tsp ground sumac
1/2 tsp kosher salt, divided
4 ripe tomatoes, diced
2 Persian cucumbers, diced
2 long green peppers, seeded and diced
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Method

Rub the onion with the sumac and a pinch of the salt and let it sit 5 minutes.
Combine the tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, onion and parsley in a bowl.
Dress with the oil, lemon juice and remaining salt, toss and serve right away.

Notes

Dice everything about the same small size; that's what makes it a proper shepherd's salad.

A drizzle of pomegranate molasses is a popular addition.
