These tangy, zippy Sumac Onions are a 5-minute flavour upgrade you’ll use again and again. No cooking required, just a quick mix of pantry staples that instantly elevates wraps, bowls and salads. A simple, make-aheadside that actually makes dinner exciting.
Toss to coat and let sit for 5–10 minutes (or longer) to pickle before serving for a better flavour, or serve immediately!
Notes
Note 1 – For milder flavour, soak the sliced onion in cold water for 10 minutes before mixing. If your onion is extra large, you can double the lemon juice and sumac.
Make Ahead
Mix and store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. The flavour intensifies and the onion softens over time. Avoid metal bowls – glass or ceramic helps preserve the fresh flavour.
Leftovers
See make ahead instructions above.
