Ingredients
- 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

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.
