Steps
Steps
- 1Peel the cucumbers if the skin is thick, then dice them into pieces no bigger than 5 mm.
- 2Deseed the tomatoes and dice them the same size — the seeds are what make this salad watery.
- 3Dice the onion finer still, then rinse it under cold water and pat it dry.
- 4Combine the vegetables in a bowl.
- 5Crush the dried mint between your palms as you add it, to wake up the oil in the leaves. Dried mint, not fresh, is what makes this Shirazi.
- 6Add the lime juice, oil, salt and pepper and toss.
- 7Chill 20 minutes and drain off any liquid before serving alongside rice or kebabs.
