Equipment
- jar or small bowl
Ingredients
Vegetables
- 3 Persian or Lebanese cucumbers
- 2 medium tomatoes
Dressing
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium lemon juiced (approx 4-5 tablespoons) or traditionally used Ab Ghooreh (unripe sour grape juice)
- Handful fresh mint leaves
- Salt to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Dice cucumbers and tomatoes into small cubes, approximately the same size and chop the mint leaves.
- Next, dice the onion into smaller sized cubes. I prefer to also soak in water for 10 minutes to remove the harsh flavor.
- Add the dressing ingredients to a jar or small bowl and stir together.
- Add the chopped veggies and mint to a large bowl and pour over the dressing. Stir together and allow it to sit for 10 minutes for the flavors to develop.
