Equipment

  • Tomato or serrated knife
  • Salad Spinner

Ingredients

For the salad

  • 500 grams cherry tomato medley (approximately 18 ounces or 4 cups)
  • 240 grams Lebanese cucumbers (approximately 2 medium, 8.5 ounces or 2 cups diced)
  • 120 grams red banana capsicum/peppers (approximately 1 medium, 4.2 ounces or 1 cup diced)
  • 60 grams onion (approximately ½ a medium onion, 2 ounces)
  • 1 cup mint chopped leaves
  • 1 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves

For the sumac vinaigrette

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ½ tablespoon sumac
  • Pinch chilli powder (or more if you like things spicy)

Instructions

Step 1 - Prepare Veggies

  • Wash your cherry tomatoes under cold running water, pat dry then cut in half. Transfer to a colander, season with some sea salt to help release the wonderful tomatoey flavour.
  • Wash, trim and peel your cucumber, capsicum/pepper and onion.
  • Wash your parsley and mint, either shake dry or spin dry using a salad spinner. Strip the herb leaves from the stems and then roughly chop.
  • Add all your chopped vegetables and herbs to a large mixing bowl.

Step 2 - Shake-Up Dressing

  • Add all vinaigrette ingredients to a glass jar, season.
  • Shake well to emulsify, taste and adjust flavourings.
  • If it is too puckery add a tiny bit of honey or maple syrup.

Step 3 - Assemble the Salad

  • Pour your dressing over your veggies, season and toss well to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings according to your liking.
  • Arrange in a salad bowl, add a sprinkle of sumac on top to garnish. Serve and enjoy!
