Shirazi Salad is a very refreshing and easy salad to prepare and serve with any meat dish. Goes well with kebab, BBQ meat, tandoori meat, pilaf and flatbreads. Make sure to use seedless cucumber. If your cucumber has seeds, scrape out the seeds first and then dice small. Best prepared with fresh herbs from the garden. :)
Wash all your fresh salad ingredients and pat dry. Cut your Tomatoes into small dice.
Don' t peel your cucumber just cut off the ends and scrape out the seeds if there are any. This depends on the cucumber variety. Best you use the dark green seedless English cucumber variety. Cut into small dice.
Chop your herbs small, mint, dill, parsley and cilantro and add to the diced tomato and cucumber.
Mix all the ingredients for the dressing and pour over the salad ingredients. Mix and let sit for at least 30 minutes. The flavors will mingle together and the result will be a beautiful refreshing salad.
