IRAQI SUMAC SALAD (SUMMAG SALAD)



Iraqi Sumac Salad (Summag Salad) image

One of my favorite lunch spots is a charming little Iraqi restaurant that makes the best food! The first time I tried this salad, I just knew I had to try and recreate it at home. The tangy lemon and sumac flavors make this salad super refreshing and perfect for summer. This makes 2 lunch-sized portions, or 4 side salads.
