AFGHAN TOMATO, CUCUMBER AND ONION SALAD (SALATA)



Afghan Tomato, Cucumber and Onion Salad (Salata) image

"Salata is always light and crunchy, making it a perfect counterpoint to Afghan cuisine's heavier dishes. Some Afghan cooks consider it a point of pride when the diced vegetables are small and uniform in size. The result reminds a little of a colorful bowl of confetti. For those in Afghanistan who can afford fresh vegetables, salata is a staple on the Afghan table. If you can't get your hands on any decent tomatoes, hang onto the recipe until you can."

RANCH CUCUMBER, TOMATO AND ONION SALAD



Ranch Cucumber, Tomato and Onion Salad image

So easy, so good. My newest summertime addiction. My SIL Jeni actually gave me the idea for this, so I want to make sure she gets credit! I'm sure this isn't a completely original recipe though, lol. I can usually only wait about 1/2 hour for the salad to meld together, but it has lasted a whole 24 hours in the fridge before I devoured the leftovers!

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

10 -12 cherry tomatoes
1 large cucumber
1/2 small onion
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Slice the cucumbers and put in a bowl. Sprinkle with a little salt.
  • Halve or quarter the tomatoes depending on the size of the tomatoes and how big you like the pieces. Mix with the cucumbers.
  • Thinly slice the onion. I prefer it sliced, but I'm sure you could do a chopped onion instead. Mix with cucumbers and tomatoes.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Mix with ranch dressing. Let sit for at least 30 minutes.

SALAD-E SHIRAZI (PERSIAN CUCUMBER, TOMATO AND ONION SALAD)



Salad-e Shirazi (Persian Cucumber, Tomato and Onion Salad) image

Named for the city in southwestern Iran, salad-e Shirazi is found on practically every Iranian table at practically every meal. Think of it as an herbier, juicier, more acidic version of Greek salad, Israeli salad or Indian kachumber. It should be bright, crunchy and tart, a nice counterpoint to rich, buttery rice and unctuous stews. Toss the cucumbers, onion, herbs and tomatoes with the lime vinaigrette just before serving to preserve their crunch. In Iran, dining companions usually fight over the leftover juice at the end of a meal.

Provided by Samin Nosrat

Categories     salads and dressings, vegetables, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings (about 5 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 to 4 Persian cucumbers (about 3/4 pound)
1/2 red onion, diced into 1/4-inch pieces
2 tablespoons any combination of finely chopped fresh parsley, cilantro, basil or dill
1 teaspoon dried mint
2 to 3 medium tomatoes (about 1 pound)
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 2 limes), plus more as needed
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Remove alternating stripes of peel on cucumbers and trim ends. Dice cucumbers into 1/4-inch pieces and place in a large bowl with onion and fresh herbs. Using your fingers to break up any large pieces, gently grind the dried mint into the bowl. Remove tomato cores, dice remaining tomatoes into 1/4-inch pieces and add to bowl.
  • In a small bowl, make a vinaigrette by whisking together 1/4 cup lime juice, oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Just before serving, dress vegetables with vinaigrette and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and lime juice as needed. This salad should be bright, crunchy and tart, a nice counterpoint for rich, buttery rice and unctuous stews. Serve at room temperature or lightly chilled. Cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. The better the tomatoes, the better the salad will be. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a slight give when you press them.
  • Use a variety of onions. Red onions, yellow onions, and shallots all add different flavors to the salad. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite.
  • Slice the onions thinly. This will help them to blend in with the other ingredients and not overpower the salad.
  • Use a mandoline to slice the cucumbers. This will help you to get evenly sliced cucumbers that are perfect for the salad.
  • Add a variety of herbs to the salad. Fresh basil, cilantro, and parsley all add a nice flavor to the salad. You can also use dried herbs, but fresh herbs are always best.
  • Use a light dressing. A simple vinaigrette or lemon-tahini dressing is all you need to dress the salad. Too much dressing will overwhelm the other ingredients.
  • Serve the salad immediately. This salad is best when it is served fresh. The longer it sits, the more the flavors will blend together and the salad will become less crisp.

Conclusion:

Tomato, onion, and cucumber salad is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the best tomato, onion, and cucumber salad that you have ever tasted.
