Ground sumac, made from the dried berries of a sumac bush that grows in the Middle East and in parts of Italy, is a beautiful dark red powder with a somewhat coarse texture and tart lemony flavor.

Ingredients

Red onion

1 small, thinly sliced (about 3/4 cup)

Ground sumac

2 tsp

Low-fat vinaigrette salad dressing

5 Tbsp, divided

Chickpeas

31 oz, 2 ( 15 1/2-ounce) cans, rinsed and drained

Fresh mint leaves

½ cup(s), lightly packed, torn

Table salt

¼ tsp, or to taste

Instructions
