Elaboració

Pas a pas

1
Wash and thoroughly dry the cucumbers, tomatoes, and fresh herbs.
Uns 1 min
Nota de cuina: Drying the vegetables prevents the salad from becoming watery.
2
Finely dice the cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion into small, uniform pieces, approximately 1/4-inch (0.6 cm) cubes.
Uns 8 min
Nota de cuina: Uniform dicing ensures every bite has a balanced flavor and a pleasant texture. A sharp chef's knife is key for clean cuts.
3
Roughly chop the fresh mint and fresh parsley.
Uns 2 min

Uns 1 min

Conservació

Nota de cuina:

Salad Shirazi is incredibly versatile. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats like kebabs, rice dishes such as Tahdig, or even as a light lunch on its own. For a slightly different flavor profile, you can add a pinch of dried mint or a sprinkle of sumac. A crisp, dry white wine or a refreshing glass of doogh (Persian yogurt drink) would complement this salad perfectly.

Store leftover Salad Shirazi in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Com reescalfar-ho

This salad is best served cold and does not require reheating. If the salad has been refrigerated for a while, give it a gentle toss before serving to redistribute the dressing.
