A fresh and vibrant Lebanese Tomato Salad made with juicy tomatoes, crunchy bell peppers, garlic, sumac, and smoked paprika, drizzled with olive oil and topped with fresh parsley.

Ingredients

2 lb Campari tomatoes

1 large red bell pepper

4 cloves of garlic, peeled

1 tablespoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon sumac

4 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Start by washing and slicing the Campari tomatoes into bite-sized wedges. Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips. Crush the garlic cloves using the side of a knife, but don’t chop them too finely, as you want the garlic to infuse the salad with flavor without overwhelming it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced tomatoes, bell pepper, and garlic. Toss gently to mix.
  3. Add the smoked paprika, sumac, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss everything together until well-coated. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or sumac if desired.
  4. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top of the salad and give it a final toss.
  5. Transfer the salad to a serving dish and enjoy immediately, or chill for about 15 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.

Notes

You can add grilled chicken, lamb, or falafel for extra protein.

Add diced cucumber for extra crunch and freshness.

Include black or green olives for a briny, Mediterranean twist.

Crumbled feta cheese adds a salty, creamy element to the salad.

This salad can be prepared ahead of time, but it’s best served within 2 days to retain the fresh texture of the vegetables.
