Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3 Roma tomatoes, small diced
1 English cucumber (or 4 small Persian cucumbers), small diced
1/4 to 1/2 cup finely chopped onions (red or yellow onions will work here)
1/2 green bell pepper (optional), chopped into small pieces
2 to 3 tbsp EACH chopped fresh parsley, cilantro, and dill
1 tbsp dried mint (or 1/2 cup chopped fresh mint)
Salt and pepper
Sumac, to taste (optional)
Juice of 2 large limes (4 tbsp)
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (I used Early Harvest Greek extra virgin olive oil)

Steps:

Place diced tomatoes for a few minutes in a colander to release excess liquid. (I don't remove the seeds, so this step helps.)
In a large bowl, place the diced tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and bell peppers.
To flavor, add fresh herbs, dried mint, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Add sumac (I started with 1 tsp). Finally, add lime juice, and a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Toss to combine.
If you have the time, cover and chill this salad in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour for best taste.

IRANIAN / PERSIAN SALAD SHIRAZI

Iranian / Persian Salad Shirazi image

An excellent light side salad to accompany a heavy Persian meal or any meal really. Sumac is the red bitter spice usually served for sprinkling on kebab. It's available at most Middle Eastern stores, but if you can't find it just leave it out. I like to dice the veggies very small about 1/4-inch. Serve with fresh lemon wedges.

SALAD-E SHIRAZI (PERSIAN CUCUMBER, TOMATO AND ONION SALAD)

Salad-e Shirazi (Persian Cucumber, Tomato and Onion Salad) image

Named for the city in southwestern Iran, salad-e Shirazi is found on practically every Iranian table at practically every meal. Think of it as an herbier, juicier, more acidic version of Greek salad, Israeli salad or Indian kachumber. It should be bright, crunchy and tart, a nice counterpoint to rich, buttery rice and unctuous stews. Toss the cucumbers, onion, herbs and tomatoes with the lime vinaigrette just before serving to preserve their crunch. In Iran, dining companions usually fight over the leftover juice at the end of a meal.

Time 20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings (about 5 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 to 4 Persian cucumbers (about 3/4 pound)
1/2 red onion, diced into 1/4-inch pieces
2 tablespoons any combination of finely chopped fresh parsley, cilantro, basil or dill
1 teaspoon dried mint
2 to 3 medium tomatoes (about 1 pound)
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 2 limes), plus more as needed
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Remove alternating stripes of peel on cucumbers and trim ends. Dice cucumbers into 1/4-inch pieces and place in a large bowl with onion and fresh herbs. Using your fingers to break up any large pieces, gently grind the dried mint into the bowl. Remove tomato cores, dice remaining tomatoes into 1/4-inch pieces and add to bowl.
In a small bowl, make a vinaigrette by whisking together 1/4 cup lime juice, oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Just before serving, dress vegetables with vinaigrette and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and lime juice as needed. This salad should be bright, crunchy and tart, a nice counterpoint for rich, buttery rice and unctuous stews. Serve at room temperature or lightly chilled. Cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days.
