Parsley, Red Onion, and Pomegranate Salad Marcus Nilsson

Yes, you can treat parsley as a salad green, as long as your bunch isn't woody. Sweet molasses and tart sumac make it vibrant.

Ingredients

6 servings

1 large red onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon ground sumac
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon pomegranate molasses or 1/2 teaspoon honey
4 cups (lightly packed) fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves with tender stems
1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
  1. Step 1

    Toss onion, sugar, and sumac in a medium bowl; season with salt and let sit 30 minutes.

    Step 2

    Add oil, vinegar, and pomegranate molasses and toss to combine; let sit 5 minutes.

    Step 3

    Just before serving, toss in parsley and pomegranate seeds; season with salt.

  • This is juicy, bright, and beautiful. I'm allergic to sumac (because of extreme allergy to poison oak) so I subbed in lemon zest. I like the way the onion softened and mellowed.

  • 洋葱是惊人的。整个沙拉很好and very pretty. But since not many people like to eat parsley as the main green in a salad, I'm only giving it three forks.
