Shiraz is one of the most historic, storied, and down-right poetic cities of Iran. It makes sense then that salad Shirazi – literally: “salad from Shiraz”- elevates the perfectly pedestrian affair of a cucumber, tomato, and onion salad into one that is still simple but also one that sings. Dicing and proportion are the alchemical steps that turn the everyday ingredients into a whole that is distinctly delightful. <br /> <br />Salad Shirazi is a favorite summer-time side-dish, but also makes a year-round perfect accompaniment to any meat-centric menu like steak or kabob. <br /> <br />It is also quite delicious on its own, and with some bread and cheese and walnut makes a fantastic meal: light, crunchy, refreshing, and zestily flavorful.
