½ small finely diced Red onion
½ cup chopped Fresh parsley
2 cloves minced Garlic
1–2 tsp Red chili flakes or Aleppo pepper
2 tbsp Pomegranate molasses

Method

Finely dice tomatoes, bell pepper, onion → place in bowl with parsley and garlic.
Add chili flakes/Aleppo pepper, pomegranate molasses, olive oil, lemon juice, salt.
Mix well → let sit 15–30 minutes for flavors to meld (or serve immediately).
