For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of sumac to the dressing. Its tangy, lemony notes will complement the other ingredients beautifully. If you don't have fresh lemon juice on hand, bottled lemon juice can be used, but the fresh juice is recommended for its brighter flavor. Feel free to adjust the amount of red onion to your preference. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can soak the diced red onion in cold water for 10 minutes before adding it to the salad.
