Persian Yogurt Salad 21 Recipes

PERSIAN CUCUMBER YOGURT (MAAST-O KHIAR)

Persian Cucumber Yogurt (Maast-o Khiar) image

This cool and healthy dip can be served along side rice and meat, or simply with bread. No Persian meal is complete without Maast-o khiar! This dish is best if refrigerated for a few hours, but if you are strapped for time feel free to serve after mixing. Don't be afraid to get creative! Try adding spinach, raisins, or walnuts. Other herbs could be used as well (i.e. mint, tarragon, oregano). More cucumbers, less shallots...it's your call! Enjoy!

MASHT-O KHIYAAR (PERSIAN CUCUMBER SALAD WITH SULTANAS AND WALNUTS)

Masht-o Khiyaar (Persian Cucumber Salad with Sultanas and Walnuts) image

This is a Persian recipe and my favorite cucumber salad. Cucumbers are combined with toasted walnuts and sultanas and a light dressing of yogurt, fresh dill, and fresh mint. For best results refrigerate salad for about 1 hour.
