@kalejunkie: MIDDLE EASTERN SHIRAZI SALAD is an absolute staple in my house, and has been since I was a child!Although Shirazi has Persian origins, Armenians enjoy a very similar version—I love when flavors overlap from different cultures! This is such a fresh and herbaceous dish that screams Spring! I could eat the entire bowl on its own, but it’s fantastic as a side dish or scooped up with crackers. The key to this salad is chopping the veggies finely, which can be a pain in the a** and time consuming, unless you use the viral veggie chopper! You can chop all the veggies in a few min flat!⁣ ⁣ Comment LINK or CHOPPER and I will DM you the link! 🔗 ⁣ ⁣ Makes 4 servings ⁣ Salad:⁣ 4 Persian cucumbers, finely chopped⁣ 3 Roma tomatoes, finely chopped ⁣ ½ red onion, chopped⁣ 1 green bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped ⁣ 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped⁣ 3 tb parsley, chopped⁣ 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped⁣ ⁣ Dressing:⁣ 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil⁣ 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (1-2 limes)⁣ 2 tsp sumac (optional but highly recommend)⁣ 1/2 tsp kosher salt⁣ 1/2 tsp black pepper⁣ ⁣ Chop all of your ingredients finely. Drain as much of the liquid from the tomatoes as possible, so the salad isn’t soggy! Add all of the salad ingredients to a large bowl. Next, make the dressing by whisking together all of the ingredients listed above. Pour over the salad, toss and enjoy!
