Iranian / Persian Salad Shirazi

Light, fresh and delicious! I'm always looking for new salad ideas and new ways to use sumac, which I love, and this fit the bill perfectly. Great combo of flavors...a definite keeper~YUM! Thanks for sharing. :)

One half of a red onion was too much. Benefitted from the addition of feta and kalamata olives. Skipped the sumac, added celery salt.

Note to self - don’t add olives, feta cheese, apples, pepperoni or anything else and call it a Shirazi Salad! Iranian Friends from the town of origin, introduced me to the Shirazi Salad and i love it. This is a really good repersentation

Made exactly as directed except that I used fresh mint instead of dried, and added some pine nuts that I needed to use up. A great side salad for spring!

such a nice light summertime salad. I did add a bit of chopped fresh parsley as well and some of the zest of the lemon for extra citrus flavor without the tart. thank you for this light and easy recipe.

I found this salad a tad bitter and not sure what I did wrong. I only cut the recipe in half, added red onion to taste, and left out the dried mint realizing I didnt have any. I did add the dill and sumac and followed the rest of the recipe. It was quick and easy and went well with a lite dinner this evening. I was able to tweak it with a couple of other seasonings.

Healthy, like it - used fresh mint to boost flavor - wondering if my Sumac was old - when eat this in restaurants it has more flavor. Liked it - will try tinkering with it

So easy and tasty. I love the Sumac...what a transformative spice!

Great for barbeques! I had to search out the ground sumac, but I felt it was worth it as it gave the salad an interesting tang. #Allrecipesallstarscanada #TasteofSpring

Why so many changes? It’s not the real Iranian salad with all the changes. I have lived in Iran and this IS the true delicious recipe.

I added a splash of red wine vinegar and a quarter tsp of pressed garlic. I didn’t have the mint and I only had dried dill. It was still awesome. Mmmmm... even my 7 and 11 year old liked it!
