Shirazi Salad

This Shirazi salad is a vibrant celebration of fresh produce and sharp, citrus flavours. A Persian classic, this vegan-friendly dish relies on the contrast between crisp cucumbers and a variety of juicy, sun-ripened tomatoes. By macerating the spring onions in vinegar and using an abundance of soft green herbs like coriander, dill, and tarragon, the salad achieves a sophisticated depth of flavour that is both cooling and aromatically complex.

Traditionally served as a refreshing accompaniment to grilled meats or spicy rice dishes, this salad also makes a wonderful light lunch when paired with warm flatbreads. It is a heart-healthy choice, packed with antioxidants and vitamin C, and is best served immediately to appreciate the bright, zingy notes of the fresh lime dressing and seasonal herbs.
