PERSIAN CUCUMBER TOMATO SALAD-2

Persian cucumber salad is a traditional Middle Eastern salad that originated in Shirazi, Iran. It is also often called Shirazi salad because of this. The fresh flavors of this salad pair well with just about any type of Middle Eastern meat and rice dishes. Persian cucumbers are small, tender cucumbers with a mild flavor. If you can't find them, then use an equal amount of English cucumbers.

Ingredients
1 pounds roma tomatoes diced
1 pounds Persian cucumbers sliced
½ small red onions diced
3 tablespoons lime juice
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoons sea salt
¼ cups minced parsley
2 tablespoons minced fresh mint

I make a similar salad in summer-really good with lime and mint (I usually use lemon, no mint). Keeper recipe.
