Salad Shirazi

Shirazi salad (Persian: سالاد شیرازی sālād shirāzi) is an Iranian salad that originated from and is named after Shiraz in southern Iran. It is a relatively modern dish, dating to sometime after the introduction of the tomato to Iran at the end of the nineteenth century in the Qajar era. Its primary ingredients are cucumber, tomato, onion, olive oil, herbal spices and verjuice, although lime juice is sometimes used in its preparation. In Iran, it is eaten in the summer as a side dish on its own, and year-round as a side dish alongside meat-based foods such as kebab and as a side dish before and after meals.Shirazi salad is sometimes served as an accompaniment to rice such as loobia polo, an Iranian rice dish made with green beans and tomatoes.

There are many types of salads, but I stick to tradition! Nothing is more delicious than a Greek village salad, especially if the vegetables come from your own garden.

Very simple recipe great as side dish.

I created this dish for a company potluck so that the people (who are vegan, or those who have celiac disease or who are lactose intolerant) could also enjoy it. (I served the feta cheese on the side as a topping option.)The quinoa should be on the firm side. Recipe by Qualicumbeach

Serves two people as a main course, or more if served as a side

A staple at every table, especially in the summer when it's more flavorful because the vegetables are in season. 👌 So, Greek salad it is! 😉

Hi everyone, I hope you all enjoyed your weekend :) A brand new week ahead of us and I am hoping that it is a good one for everyone. I am back with a salad again today, and this one I know that everyone knows and has tried :) the Traditional Greek Salad, or otherwise known in Greece as "Choriatiki Salata" which translated into English means "Country Salad" or "Village Salad"This reminds of a story, my Dad had a really great sense of humour sometimes his jokes were just to funny that my stomach would hurt from laughing so much, but sometimes he would say things that were just so nonchalant...This is really funny but you need to understand Greek to be able to understand. We had gone to a Greek Tavern in Chasia which is an area in Athens that mainly has Greek Taverns. :) We were just about to order the appetisers when my dad turned around in a very nonchalant way and asked the waiter if they had "Vlaxiki salata" instead of saying "Choriatiki salata". We had never heard this salad referred to as Vlaxiki Salad, we had a good laugh and so did the waiter!! :)The truth is that back in those days the Villagers would grow there own tomatoes, cucumbers, so when working in the fields they would have a Tomato, Cucumber a few olives on a napkin to eat. So the term Vlaxiki Salata comes from how they used to eat, as years followed the named changed to Greek Salad, or Choriatiki. :) My mom grew up in a village so she told me that back then this is what my grandfather use

What could be more delicious to eat on a hot summer day? Salad of course! I love all sorts of salads with different Oil bases and or any home made dressing. This is a very simple, green, light, and healthy salad based in Olive Oil and Lemon.Coming from a Greek background, I don’t remember my mother ever not using Olive Oil, and so the tradition continued with me. I use Olive Oil in all my salads and in my recipes, because I love the taste, texture, and the fact is the benefits of eating Olive Oil are just countless.

This was from a grocery-offered recipe! Since we have many salmon here in Norway, it is one of my norwegian familys favorite! Enjoy!!

This is very popular dish of the Peruvian cuisine. Originally from Arequipa, a gorgeous city surrounded by mountains in southern Peru. Solterito is a vegetable salad that is served cold. It is a great appetizer for summer, however Latin American people eat it in every season. The main elements of this dish are corn kernel (choclo), white cheese, lima beans, and broad beans. These are essential ingredients in the Peruvian gastronomy that grow well in Peru. An interesting fun fact is that the wors "solterito" means "single".
