The tomatoes are juicy, while the onion brings a crisp bite and sumac gives the salad its bright, pleasantly tart flavour. Serve it with kebabs, grilled vegetables or beans, or tuck it into a wrap with flatbread. It is a light, vegetable-forward side, with about 32 calories per 100 g; use oil sparingly if you want to keep it especially light.
