Description

This Sumac Dressing is packed with spices and flavor, is super simple to make, and is a great topper for green salads. Plus, it keeps well in the fridge, so you can enjoy it all week long. 


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon agave syrup (or honey or maple syrup)
  • 2 teaspoons sumac
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Add everything to a small mixing bowl, and whisk until combined. You can also add everything to a mason jar, screw on the lid, and shake to combine.

Notes

Try this sumac dressing on a fattoush salad, any green salad or a tomato-based salad. You can also use it as a marinade or as a dipping sauce for bread. 

Storage: This sumac dressing keeps well stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, but make sure to shake or stir it well before serving since some of the spices may settle to the bottom of your container.

Olive oil: This is a great time to use a higher quality extra virgin olive oil. We typically stick with less expensive olive oil when using it to sauté or as the base for a dish. 

Sumac is made from the dried berries of sumac trees/shrubs. If you live in the Eastern US, chances are you've seen the red, fluffy flowers of a Sumac tree. Sumac has a bright and tart flavor that's similar to lemon, and is a commonly used spice in Middle Eastern and North African cuisines.
