Ingredients
  

2 large red onions, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons sumac

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice

1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)

Salt, to taste

Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

Start by peeling and thinly slicing the red onions. You want them to be as thin as possible for maximum flavor absorption.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced onions with the olive oil, sumac, apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice), and honey (if using).

      Sprinkle salt over the onion mixture and toss everything together thoroughly. Ensure the onions are well-coated with the seasoning.

        Let the mixture marinate for at least 15-30 minutes at room temperature. This allows the flavors to meld together, and the onions will soften slightly.

          After marination, taste and adjust salt, sumac, or acidity to your preference.

            Serve the sumac onions as a refreshing side dish, topping for grilled meats, or in your favorite salads. Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro for a fresh finish.
