Instructions
- Combine the cucumber, tomato and onion.
- Whisk together the oil and verjus and add a little salt and pepper.
- If you don't have verjus, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, sugar, white wine vinegar, lime juice and a little salt & pepper.
- Toss the dressing into the salad and then season with the dried mint.
- Refrigerate until needed - it's better if it's sat in the fridge for a couple of hours, but not essential.
Notes
- Chilling the salad makes for a great result. A couple of hours will bring down the temperature to a delicious cool - it also gives the dressing time work its magic.
- If you don't have verjus, you can use the alternative dressing recipe detailed above.
- Shirazi Salad works wonderfully alongside grilled meats and fish as well as with rich soups, stews and sauces. A cooling yoghurt sauce will pair marvellously alongside pita or flatbreads too.
