Ingredients

4 servings

4 roma tomatoes (diced)
1 English cucumber (diced {or you can use Persian cucumbers})
1/2 cup red onion (finely chopped)
1/2 of a green bell pepper (diced)
1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped)

2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped)
1/2 cup fresh mint (chopped {or use 1 tablespoon dried mint})
1 teaspoon sumac {optional}
2 limes (juiced {about 4 tablespoons})
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Method

1
In a large bowl add the tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, bell pepper, parsley, cilantro, dill and fresh mint. Gently mix.
2
In a mason jar, small bowl or salad dressing container combine the sumac, lime juice, olive oil and mix well. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste.
3
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 days.

Notes

If you are making this salad ahead of time I would wait to add the dressing when you are ready to serve the salad. I find the vegeatbles can get mushy and the dressing gets soaked into the vegetables. I prefer to add it when we are ready to eat. Other ingredients you could add in would be sweet onion, feta cheese, green onions, red bell peppers.
