Notes

  • Dice everything tiny. Shirazi salad is spooned up, and a rough chop makes it a different salad.
  • Dress it just before serving. Salted in advance, the cucumber releases water and it goes soggy.
  • Verjuice, sour unripe grape juice, is traditional in Shiraz; lime juice is the everyday substitute.
