Instructions

Mix onions and parsley in a bowl.
Add extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, sumac, salt, and sugar to the bowl.
Massage well using your hands. Massaging the onions with the other ingredients makes the absorption better, and the resulting onion salad is very flavorful.
Refrigerate the onions for at least one hour before serving to bring the flavors together.

Use a sharp knife to slice onions to minimize the burning of the eyes. You can also soak peeled and halved onions in water before slicing them to reduce the burning of the eyes.
