SALAD-E SHIRAZI (PERSIAN CUCUMBER, TOMATO AND ONION SALAD)
Named for the city in southwestern Iran, salad-e Shirazi is found on practically every Iranian table at practically every meal. Think of it as an herbier, juicier, more acidic version of Greek salad, Israeli salad or Indian kachumber. It should be bright, crunchy and tart, a nice counterpoint to rich, buttery rice and unctuous stews. Toss the cucumbers, onion, herbs and tomatoes with the lime vinaigrette just before serving to preserve their crunch. In Iran, dining companions usually fight over the leftover juice at the end of a meal.

Steps:
- Remove alternating stripes of peel on cucumbers and trim ends. Dice cucumbers into 1/4-inch pieces and place in a large bowl with onion and fresh herbs. Using your fingers to break up any large pieces, gently grind the dried mint into the bowl. Remove tomato cores, dice remaining tomatoes into 1/4-inch pieces and add to bowl.
- In a small bowl, make a vinaigrette by whisking together 1/4 cup lime juice, oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Just before serving, dress vegetables with vinaigrette and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and lime juice as needed. This salad should be bright, crunchy and tart, a nice counterpoint for rich, buttery rice and unctuous stews. Serve at room temperature or lightly chilled. Cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days.

- Finely dice the cucumber, tomatoes, and onion. If your tomatoes contain lots of seeds, then first scoop out the seeds then finely chop them.You could also use a "chopper" for the cucumber and onion, though the pieces won’t end up as uniform.
- I recommend enjoying this Persian cucumber salad fresh while the ingredients are still fresh and crunchy. However, leftovers can be covered and stored in the refrigerator for between 1-2 days.Just note that over time the veggies will soften and release juices, thus softening the overall Shirazi salad.Make ahead: If you plan on making this salad ahead, I recommend using seedless cucumbers, de-seeding the tomatoes, and also omitting the dressing and salt from the recipe until a couple of hours before serving. This way, it should last 3-4 days in the refrigerator- though still best in 2-3.

- Trim the ends off the cucumbers and either thinly-slice them crosswise or cut them into 1/4-inch dice. Dicing is more traditional however I prefer to slice them because it gives the salad an interesting variety of shapes and textures. Add the cucumbers to a large mixing bowl.
- If using large tomatoes, slice them in half and remove any hard cores, then cut them into 1/4-inch dice. If using cherry tomatoes, no need to core them, just slice them into quarters, and add them to the bowl along with the diced onion, herbs and green pepper, if using.
