Finely slice the onion for the Mardin chickpea salad, rub it with sumac, then drain so the chickpeas are not crushed.
Drain the chickpeas and salt them while still lukewarm, so they absorb the sumac dressing better.
For the Mardin chickpea salad, loosen the sumac with lemon juice and olive oil so the tartness does not stay in one spot.
Gently toss the main ingredients with the dressing for 1 minute without crushing them, so the pieces do not break apart.
Rest for 10 minutes and serve at room temperature.
💡 Tip: Rubbing the onion briefly with sumac softens its sharpness and opens up the balance of the salad.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve cool, scattered with parsley on top.
