Preparation:
1. Wash, peel and cut cucumbers into small parts. In the meantime, wash the tomatoes, peel and remove the seeds and cut into pieces. If you prefer, you can leave the skins and seeds on the tomatoes although traditionally most of the restaurants we have eaten in Turkey will peel the skin of the tomatoes. Slice and dice the onion, then cut the chilis diagonally or slit along the length, coarsely chop the parsley, place in large bowl.
3. Add pinch of salt and drizzle some olive oil.
3. Mix everything together.
4. Serve this salad in small portions on salad plates, sprinkle some sumac spice on top or just toss everything all at once. Garnish with parsley leaves.
