Tomato salad with onion, sumac and pomegranate molasses is made by tossing chopped tomatoes and thinly sliced onion with sumac, pomegranate molasses, olive oil and salt. Mix it shortly before serving so the tomatoes stay firm and the salad does not become watery.
Pomegranate molasses gives tomato salad with onion, sumac and pomegranate molasses a tart, fruity sweetness and a deeper flavor than lemon juice alone. Its sweetness and thickness vary by product, so add it gradually and taste before adding more.
You can prepare the ingredients for tomato salad with onion, sumac and pomegranate molasses ahead, but combine and dress them near serving time. Salt and the acidic dressing draw liquid from cut tomatoes, making the salad softer and wetter as it sits.
To keep tomato salad with onion, sumac and pomegranate molasses from getting watery, cut the tomatoes shortly before serving and add salt at the end. If the tomatoes release excess liquid, drain it before serving rather than letting the salad sit in it.
Ripe but still firm, flavorful tomatoes work best in tomato salad with onion, sumac and pomegranate molasses. Meaty varieties hold their shape after chopping, while very soft or watery tomatoes can make the dressed salad lose its texture.
Yes, tomato salad with onion, sumac and pomegranate molasses draws on familiar Turkish salad flavors, especially the use of sumac, onion and pomegranate molasses. Recipes vary by household, but it is commonly served as a bright accompaniment to grilled or roasted dishes.
Tomato salad with onion, sumac and pomegranate molasses pairs well with grilled meat, chicken, kebabs, flatbread or rice. Its sharp, tangy dressing balances richer mains, and the salad can also be tucked into a wrap or served with mezze.

Tomato salad with onion, sumac and pomegranate molasses is a Turkish-style salad made with chopped ripe tomatoes and onion, dressed with tangy sumac, pomegranate molasses, olive oil and salt. As it sits briefly, the onion softens and the tomatoes release juice that mingles with the dressing.
It is often served alongside kebabs, grilled meats and home-style meals, or as part of a spread of small dishes. The juicy vegetables contrast with the molasses’ sweet-tart flavour and sumac’s citrusy sharpness. It is a light side, with fibre and vitamin C from the vegetables; a 100 g portion provides 54 kcal. For a fresher, lighter version, use the oil and molasses sparingly and dress it just before serving.
