Persian Salad

We are traveling to Iran today as we Eat the World.......

Cam is hosting this month and invited us to share an Iranian recipe with our readers today.  I love Middle Eastern food and have shared many recipes.  I was looking for something new to make when I came across this salad, perfect for using up the bounty on my counter from generous neighbors.

Let's see what the others are serving up.......

Mint


Not all the ingredients for this salad came from the neighbors.  My garden is overrun with mint each year.  I planted one small little plant when we first moved in, and it took over.  I've given up trying to control it and give away, use, and dry as much as I can.
