Iranian / Persian Salad Shirazi image

An excellent light side salad to accompany a heavy Persian meal or any meal really. Sumac is the red bitter spice usually served for sprinkling on kebab. It's available at most Middle Eastern stores, but if you can't find it just leave it out. I like to dice the veggies very small about 1/4-inch. Serve with fresh lemon wedges.

I used a mandoline to slice my cucumbers and tomatoes, which made the salad look really elegant.

I added some crumbled feta cheese to my salad and it was delicious. I think it added a nice salty flavor that balanced out the acidity of the tomatoes.
