How far in advance can I make this? Is it ok to make it say, tonight? if it will not be served until potentially tomorrow night? And also the next day?
ReplyDeleteTarane, you can prepare this salad up to a day in advance and refrigerate it. Don't dress the salad until ready to serve and store the cut tomatoes separately in an airtight container.
DeleteI use red wine vineger instead of lemon..it gives a great taste..noshe joon../kian n.
ReplyDeleteWe make this in Mexico, too. But we call it Pico de Gallo.
ReplyDeleteNawww, not the same flavor. Especially if you include the mint.
DeleteYes, it is almost the same minus the jalapeno!
ReplyDeleteI make salad shirazi all the time! It is my go to potluck dish and it never ceases to impress.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't have mint, it works so well with parsley and/or dill, which is what my favorite khaleh would do when she had fresh dill.
