Salad Shirazi is a refreshing Persian cucumber and tomato salad with fresh herbs, lime juice, and olive oil. It is crisp, bright, and perfect as a light side dish.

Ingredients

  • 4 Persian cucumbers (diced; or 1 hothouse/English cucumber)
  • 1 pound ripe tomatoes (diced)
  • 1/2 medium red onion (minced)
  • 1 cup fresh minced parsley (optional; or cilantro, dill, or scallion)
  • 1/2 cup fresh minced mint leaves (or 1 to 2 tablespoons dried crushed mint)
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (or to taste)
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons pomegranate seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Add the cucumber, tomato, onion, parsley, and mint to a large bowl.
  2. Add the lime juice, olive oil, and salt, then gently toss until evenly combined.
  3. Transfer to a serving bowl and, if using, garnish with the pomegranate seeds. Serve fresh.

Notes

  • English cucumber can be substituted for Persian cucumbers.
  • Cilantro, dill, or scallion can replace the parsley.
  • Dried crushed mint can be used instead of fresh mint.
  • Adjust the lime juice and salt to taste.
  • For the best texture, serve shortly after dressing the salad.
