Wondering what to serve with moussaka for dinner? This handy guide covers all of the best sides for this traditional Greek dish. Try this simple Shirazi Salad. It features fresh cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, and crisp red onion. Dressed with plenty of fresh herbs and tossed with a tangy dressing made with lime juice and olive oil.
Small dice the tomatoes into approximately ¼” cubes.
Toss the tomatoes with ½ teaspoon kosher salt and place them in a colander to drain while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
Small dice the cucumbers into approximately ¼” cubes, similar to the tomatoes.
Add the cucumbers, onion, fresh herbs, lime juice and olive oil to a large bowl. Add the drained tomatoes and toss to combine.
Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
For best results, refrigerate for 15-30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Storage: Keep any leftover salad in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Just keep in mind that the veggies will soften as they sit in the dressing, possibly making the leftovers soggy. Dried Mint: Traditionally dried mint is used, however, I normally have fresh herbs on hand. If you would like to use dried mint, swap out the fresh mint for 1 teaspoon dried mint.
