Salad - e- Shirazi (Minty Tomato Cucumber Salad)

A very simple to assemble Salad that can be binged all day long. It is said to be a summertime favourite in Iran. I make this refreshing salad pretty often and that it carries an exotic name amused me !!




What goes:-
  • Tomatoes -  3
  • Cucumbers (medium sized) - 1
  • Onion - 1 (small)
  • Fresh lime juice - 2 tbsp - to taste
  • Virgin olive oil - 2 tbsp
  • Fresh mint - 1 bunch - to taste
  • Salt - to taste
  • Black pepper - to taste

How:-
Wash and peel cucumbers & onion.Wash tomatoes and mint. Chop cucumbers, tomatoes, and onion very finely, and mix. 




Now add the finely chopped mint.Add fresh lime juice,salt,and black pepper. Dribble in olive oil.



Serve chilled
