Shirazi Salad

Ingredients

• 3 Persian or Lebanese cucumbers
• 2 medium tomatoes
• 1/2 red onion
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 medium lemon juiced (approx 4-5 tablespoons) or traditionally used Ab Ghooreh (unripe sour grape juice)
• Handful fresh mint leaves
• Salt to taste

Instructions

1. 1

   Dice cucumbers and tomatoes into small cubes, approximately the same size and chop the mint leaves

2. 2

   Next dice the onion into smaller sized cubes. I prefer to also soak in water for 10 minutes to remove the harsh flavor

3. 3

   Add the dressing ingredients to a jar or small bowl and stir together

4. 4

   Add the chopped veggies and mint to a large bowl and pour over the dressing. Stir together and allow it to sit for 10 minutes for the flavors to develop.Serve up your delicious Shirazi Salad alongside any meal and enjoy!
