SERVING SIZE

2 people

Ingredients

4 Persian cucumbers, diced

4 ripe Roma tomatoes, diced

½ cup fresh parsley, chopped

½ teaspoon Super Sumac Power Blend

1 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1 small lemon)

Sea salt to taste

Featuring: Super Sumac

We upgraded the rich, tangy flavor of sumac by supercharging it with garlic, onion, turmeric, black pepper, and a hint of parsley. With its exceptional antioxidant power, sumac stands tall among spices, and we made sure you get the best of it in every sprinkle.

Sharing a spread of a freshly diced cucumber and tomato herb salad, ginormous bowl of hummus topped with spices, spiced olives, eggs (and SO much more) has made for some wonderful memories--plus it’s a balanced meal that fuels us up for a day of travels! I love that it packs in at least 2 cups of produce before noon. Here I’ve brought back some of my favorite components with a spiced-up twist. Sumac, parsley, and lemon juice don’t just hit your taste buds with a fresh, tangy flavor in the AM, but they all exert powerful antioxidant effects and may help protect against breast cancer.

Directions

In a large bowl, combine cucumbers, tomatoes, parsley, Super Sumac, oil, lemon juice, and salt to taste and toss until everything is well combined.
Serve with your choice of sides.

Nutritional Highlights

Sumac is rich in antioxidant phytochemicals and may even help improve the action of our body’s natural antioxidant enzymes. This can help protect DNA from damage, which may help reduce cancer risk.
Parsley, turmeric, and sumac have been shown to potentially prevent breast cancer cells from growing and spreading.

Sumac and turmeric are both rich in anti-inflammatory properties — and black pepper enhances turmeric’s effects.
Onion and garlic are allium vegetables, which have been associated with lower cancer risk.
