Ingredients
  

2 large red onions, thinly sliced

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons sumac

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon honey (optional)

Salt, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Onions: Peel the red onions and slice them thinly into rings or half-moons.

    Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, sumac, lemon juice, honey (if using), and a pinch of salt until well combined.

      Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the sliced onions and pour the dressing over them. Toss gently to ensure all the onions are evenly coated.

        Marinate: Allow the onions to marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. This helps to soften the onions and enhances the flavors.

          Serve: Once marinated, transfer the sumac onions to a serving dish and sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top for garnish.
