This is a traditional Persian salad (sometimes mint is added), that is a great substitute for the typical (and usually boring) leafy green salad. It pairs well with many dishes especially those with fish and can even be served as an appetizer with toasted syrian/pita bread wedges.
Tomato and Cucumber Salad (Shirazi Salad)
(Makes 6-8 servings)
1 english cucumber, diced
4-5 plum tomatoes, diced
1/2 small red onion, diced
juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper
Mix all ingredients together - can be eaten right away but after sitting in the fridge for a bit the flavors are magnified!
