Naghmeh's Persian Salad
Ingredients:
Cucumbers
Tomatoes
Onions
Lemon juice
Extra virgin olive oil
Mint
Salt
Pepper
Method:
Toss everything together, season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
*In this salad (see photo above) I use about 3/4 English cucumber (keeping the skin on), a large handful of small variety of tomatoes, about 1/4 large red onion, juice from about half a lemon, a drizzle of olive oil, about 10 mint leaves, and season with salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste. I like to cut my vegetables in various sizes for my own visual gratification. You can chop them or cut them however you prefer. Once you make this salad serve it right away. If you leave it too long it will get watery.
