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.

- 0.5 large English cucumber , peeled and seeded
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.5 cups minced fresh parsley
