2. | Cut the English cucumber into precise 1/4-inch pieces, adding them gracefully to the bowl. Slice the red onion into 1/4-inch slivers, joining them in the bowl alongside the minced fresh parsley. Sprinkle the ensemble with the ground sumac and salt, tossing with finesse to ensure an even coating. Allow the mixture to rest for a minimum of 15 minutes to allow the flavors to harmonize, though longer marination is encouraged. |
3. | Introduce the fresh arugula to the bowl, drizzling the composition with a generous cascade of lemon juice and olive oil. Gently toss the salad to ensure every leaf is adorned with the mouthwatering dressing. Taste and adjust salt levels as necessary. Serve promptly to relish the freshness. |
