This salad is common throughout the eastern and southern Mediterranean
from Turkey to Egypt. It is always laid on the bread on which grilled
[Favorites] are served. In Turkey the salad is seasoned with only sumac;
in Egypt, with lemon juice; and in Syria, Lebanon, and Israel it is
seasoned with both. A chef friend of mine, Sami Tamimi, whose recipe this
is, taught me to soak the sliced onions in boiling water for a few minutes
before using. This softens them slightly and, more significantly, takes
away some of the sharpness. Be sure to dry the onions well before adding
the seasonings.
