Shirazi salad recipe - Persian mint salad Shirazi - طريقة تحضير السلطة الشيرازية

Описание: Shirazi salad is a simple mint tomato cucumber salad with tangy dressing. The key ingredient it is MINT!
Originally this salad came from Iran and spread to many countries around.

Typically this salad is made with simply cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, dried mint and unripe grape juice. I know, many people may not be able to have unripe sour grape juice at home, so the juice of lemon/lime also can work. Finely diced vegetables with a lot of mint flavor makes this salad special!

Dried mint gives this salad the characteristic flavor.

Ingredients
4-5 pieces cucumbers
4-5 pieces tomatoes (firmed with less juice) or you can just drain the extra liquid
1 medium red onion for salad
1 teaspoon of dried mint ( or 1 tbsp. if you dont use a fresh mint)
1 lemon or lime
2-3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
Salt& black pepper to your taste

1. Start with a Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice or lime juice, add extra virgin olive oil, dried mint, salt and pepper.

2. Washed and drained vegetables. If using fresh herbs, rinse and drain it before chopping. If cucumber skin is thick, it is better to be peeled.
3. Dice the tomatoes and cucumbers into fine cubes as shown on the video. Chop the herbs finely.

4. Drizzle salad dressing on vegetables. Toss well and adjust seasoning as per taste. Serve chilled preferably.
If you prepare this Shirazi salad ahead, keep the chopped vegetables refrigerated and add the dressing directly before serving
