Pour water and leave for 5 minutes to get rid of bitterness. So rinse the onions several more times. To the washed onions we add sumac - the measures can be ignored, the more, the better - the taste will only benefit. Chop parsley and lettuce leaves - you can also break with hands. Add them to the onions, season with olive oil, salt and mix well. Salad is ready, you can serve it with shish kebab.
