Middle Eastern Salad Shirazi
Middle Eastern Salad Shirazi is a light and fresh chopped salad with tomato, cucumber, red onion, parsley, and lemon juice. Great served with hummus and pita or rice bowls!
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1 cup chopped Roma tomatoes 1 1/2-2 Roma tomatoes
- 4 Persian cucumbers chopped (about 2 cups)
- 1/2 cup chopped Italian parsley
- sumac couple dashes
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1/2 lemon, the juice of save the other half if needed later
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a medium-sized bowl. Stir and taste. If desired add more lemon juice for a brighter, more tangy salad. Taste for salt and pepper, and adjust as needed.
- Garnish with extra sumac when serving. It tastes the best after the flavors have melded for a couple hours. Enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftover salad in an air-tight container in the fridge. Best if eaten within 3 days.
- Some people like to add a drizzle of olive oil to this salad. I don't, but feel free to use it if desired.
