shirazi salad

WHAT YOU NEED:

  • Cucumbers

  • Tomatoes

  • Radish or beet or both! (Beets give good color)

  • Red onion

  • Dill

  • Parsley

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • Salt + pepper

  • Lots of olive oil

How to make it:

  • Dice all the veggies up really well and evenly like you’re auditioning for the Bear (roughly chop your herbs as well)

  • Add everything to a bowl (diced veggies, herbs, lemon, oil and s+p)

  • Let marinate for however long you want. The flavors will start to infuse and meld together (if you’re making this to serve right away that’ll be perf) if you prep it say, the night before, the beets will start to turn everything pink so wait to add those in right before you serve

    **You can also add whatever else you may want. Perhaps a pepper of some sort?

    **I made this as a topping to some lamb gyros with a tzatziki sauce. You could also use it for more of an appetizer and do lil’ pita breads and tzatziki with it.
