🇮🇷 Iran recipe

Salad Shirazi

Salad Shirazi is a refreshing, finely diced salad named after the city of Shiraz in southern Iran, known for its gardens and poets. This simple but essential accompaniment appears on virtually every Persian dinner table, providing a crisp, bright counterpoint to the rich stews and rice dishes. The secret lies in cutting every ingredient into tiny, uniform dice and dressing them with nothing more than fresh lime juice, dried mint, and a drizzle of olive oil.
