Also: Contrary to popular belief, there is in fact NO meth in this salad. It is SUMAC. In Arabic, we say it "sm-MAC" or "sm-MA'" so I understand the confusion. Hope this helps!

We call it "Shirazi salad" in Iran. it's really popular among Iranians

Add seafood and latinas call it Ceviche 👌 truly is a blessing. I love that asians, africans, middle east and latins can share all this

It's also similar in Indian household too.. Cucumber, onion, tomatoes, green chillies with some coriander curd or lemon juice, it's really good :)

I'm from Manila. In my family, we have a similar salad with onions, tomatoes, roasted eggplant, cucumber, olive oil, soy sauce, and calamansi (Philippine lime). It's good with crisp fried fish ❤

I’m Sudanese and a meal isn’t complete without the salad! I like either cilantro or arugula for the greens, and feta cheese is my favorite addition.

Most cultures have this salad. I think it differs from dressing flavors and other minor additions. 😊

[ZavHustles]

I do cucumber, tomato, purple onion, lime juice, cilantro, salt, pepper and avocado. Simple but delicious

Fantastic! Thanks for this.
It might not be complicated from the outset, but when we have this from an Arab household, we keep thinking as to what went into it to make it this awesome.

Thank you again. This is a favorite of mine.

We make this exact salad but sometimes we add beans or chickpeas to make it more filling. Also, we like to add pomegranate molasses to the dressing 🤌🤌🤌🤌😋

[almazavala]

In Mexico we call this Pico De Gallo . We just normally dont add cucumber, but I’m sure it’s good with it 🙂

I promise you can get anyone to eat salad making it this way! Even if you don’t have everything, simply dicing tomato & cucumber tiny like this, with cilantro a little salt, a little vinegar olive oil and a squeeze of lemon if you have it👌 chefs Kiss! If you don’t have olive oil lemon or cilantro it’s still good w just a little salt and vinegar & any veggies.
