Why You’ll Love Shirazi Salad
This Shirazi Salad is so bright and fresh and full of crisp and juicy vegetables. This salad is a great variation on a bruschetta, so switch it up and introduce everyone to something new. This salad is so versatile too. You can serve it as a dip with chips, as a side salad to a main protein, on top of crostini (as you would bruschetta), or in a sandwich or wrap with grilled chicken or cold cuts. The options are endless, so make a big batch for the week!
How to Prepare Shirazi Salad
🔥 First, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). 🔺 Using a sharp knife, cut the tortillas into small triangles. 🧂 Spray the pieces with an oil spray and sprinkle with salt. ⏲️ Now, place on a baking sheet in a single layer and then bake until golden about 12 minutes, then set them aside. 🔪 Next, take your knife and make thin slices out of each Persian cucumber. You can stack 2-3 of the thin slices on top of each other and make 4 cuts lengthwise. 🥒 Dice the cucumbers into small pieces and add into a mixing bowl. 🍅 Then, finely dice the red onion and tomato and add them into the bowl. 🫙 Now, to a mason jar or liquid measuring cup, add olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and mint and then shake or whisk. 🥣 Pour the dressing onto the salad, toss and enjoy with the tortilla chips.
