Shirazi salad
Shirazi salad, also referred to as salad Shirazi,[1] is a popular and common traditional Iranian salad that originated from and is named after Shiraz in Southern Iran.[2][3][4] Its primary ingredients are cucumber, tomato, onion and lemon juice, although lime juice or verjuice is sometimes used in its preparation.[1][5] In Iran, it is eaten in the summer as a side dish on its own, and year-round as a side dish alongside meat-based foods such as kebab[5][6][7] or steak, and as a side dish before and after meals.[8] Shirazi salad is sometimes served as an accompaniment to rice.[9] Cookbook author Jila Dana-Haeri describes it as a refreshing dish during the summer.[2]
Shirazi salad has been described as being akin to a national salad in Iran, and for most meals in Iran, it is the most common meal accompaniment.[3] It may also be used in a manner similar to that of a condiment, to reduce the spiciness of stews.[10] It typically has a crisp and moist texture,[1][11] and has been described as very similar, if not identical, to some versions of Israeli salad, and somewhat similar to pico de gallo.[7][12]
Ingredients
The primary ingredients of Shirazi salad consist of small, finely-diced cucumber, tomato and onion, which is mixed with fresh lemon or lime juice and some dried mint.[1][2] Olive oil, salt, and pepper may be used,[2][3] and additional ingredients may include chopped parsley, scallions, sumac, red vinegar,[7][8] and unripe grape juice. The salad may have a sour and salty flavor, and its flavor may increase after being set for an hour or longer before serving, which allows time for the flavors to intermingle.[2] It may be served with breads such as pita and lavash,[5] or with cheese and/or walnuts.
