I went with the basil, lime and mint method mentioned because I grow tons of basil. It was delicous and a great accompaniment to the spicy chicken kabobs I served. I imagine this would be equally delicious with lemon and parsley. The next time I buy parlsey I'll make sure to save some for this salad. Thanks!

    This is an Iranian staple, and yet I would change up the recipe slightly. . . This is how we traditionally had it in our household. Instead of lemon juice, I would use the juice of 2 FRESHLY squeezed limes, and 2 tablespoons of FRESHLY chopped basil (Persian Basil preferred). And a tablespoon of dried mint. Be generous with the salt.

    I tried this really simple recipe because I wanted to use up tomatoes and cuks from my garden, I also had a whole lot of dill (people have told me that if you plant dill near your tomatoes, it staves off bugs, seems to work too) anyway I added dill and it was awsome!
