The primary ingredients of Shirazi salad consist of small, finely-diced cucumber, tomato and onion, which is mixed with verjuice (or sometimes fresh lemon or lime juice) and some dried mint.[1][2] Olive oil, salt, and pepper may be used,[2][3] and additional ingredients may include chopped mint, parsley, scallions, dill, sumac, and red vinegar.[8][9] The salad may have a sour and salty flavor, and its flavor may increase after being set for an hour or longer before serving, which allows time for the flavors to intermingle.[2] It may be served with breads such as pita and lavash,[6] or with cheese and/or walnuts.[citation needed]
