Very good. I made this with fresh mint and pepper, no other optionals out of preference when there was already onion in the salad. I used very sweet baby Italian tomatoes, Lebanese cucumber, flat leaf parsley, freshly squeezed lemon, sea salt and a few dashes sumac like another reviewer. I will definitely make this again.

This was a nice change from the usual tomato salads out there. I did use 4 cloves of crushed garlic and cilantro in place of the parsley as that it what I had. I also only used the juice of one rather large lemon, omitted the salt and pepper completely and used about 1/8 cup of olive oil. We will definitely make this again. Thanks for posting!

My name is Louie, and my nick name is Hommus, because I love Hommus,its delicious.
I guess having Hommus as a nick name is better than having Baba Ghannous (Arabic Dip) as a nick name.

I like to cook Arabic Dishes and also recipes from all around the world. I learned my Arabic recipes from my mother . who is a super great cook. In fact my favorite cookbook is the recipes I learned from my Mother.
Recently I started to use the slow cooker and I noticed the difference in the flavor.
