Shirazi Salad originated in the town of Shiraz in Southern Iran. It is a simple Persian cucumber and tomato salad that’s loaded with herbs and dressed in citrus and extra virgin olive oil. It is bright, crunchy and tart. This quick no-lettuce salad is the perfect side to almost any entree.

This #vegan salad has very few ingredients, is quick to whip up, and is unbelievably delicious. What is typical about this salad is the small dice of the vegetables. The crunchy sweetness from the Persian cucumbers and Roma tomatoes combines with freshly squeezed lime and mint leaves. The classic salad is made with dried mint, but since I only had fresh mint, I used that.

4 Roma tomatoes, seeds removed, diced small, 
5 small Persian cucumbers, diced small 
1/2 cup chopped red onions 
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly cracked pepper 
1/2 tsp sumac (optional)
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice

Ideally this salad has a time to chill in the fridge before serving so that all the flavors could marry
