Simple Shirazi Salad Recipe

Step 1

Place diced tomatoes for a few minutes in a colander to release excess liquid. (I don't remove the seeds, so this step helps.)

Step 2

In a large bowl, place the diced tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and bell peppers.

Step 3

To flavor, add fresh herbs, dried mint, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Add sumac (I started with 1 tsp). Finally, add lime juice, and a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Toss to combine.

Step 4

If you  have the time, cover and chill this salad in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour for best taste.
