Shirazi Salad

Shirazi Salad in my opinion is THE ultimate salad. I know that's a bold claim but it tastes so good and pairs beautifully with just about everything. It's a Persian Salad so make sure you give it ago and let me know what you think.

Instructions

  • Begin by washing all the vegetables for the persian salad and allowing them to dry in a colander or using some kitchen towel.

  • Repeat this with the tomatoes and finally the red onion. Add both to the salad bowl.
