Hi! Many of you have requested the full ingredient list for this recipe. You can find it here along with all my other recipes:

When you make this, let me know your thoughts by rating and leaving a comment under the recipe on my blog!
Also: Contrary to popular belief, there is in fact NO meth in this salad. It is SUMAC. In Arabic, we say it "sm-MAC" or "sm-MA'" so I understand the confusion. Hope this helps!

Cucumber and tomato should not be eaten together...this is the wrong way.
I'm glad you explained that because I kept replaying it to try to figure out what you were saying
@@daisykumari2912what? 😂 there’s nothing wrong with It
@@hoosiernative9668 It is best to avoid eating tomatoes and cucumbers together because their digestive processes are radically different. Eating these two can cause an imbalance in the body's acidic pH, which can result in bloating.
We call it "Shirazi salad" in Iran. it's really popular among Iranians
It’s really popular here too in Yemen
سلام 👁👄👁
doesn’t really have a name in my country but we do the same just not cut as finely
Same here in Yemen 🇾🇪
Do you add onion to yours?
Add seafood and latinas call it Ceviche 👌 truly is a blessing. I love that asians, africans, middle east and latins can share all this
Yes! I'm loving learning the different names and varieties for this salad in the comments
@@TheBitewithJackie omg I think you may have the coolest comment thread about food ever... This is beautiful 😭❤️
Right! I think so too! Loving how everyone is just sharing the names and versions of this salad
That's an unorthodox ceviche tbh
Hi andie
I’m Sudanese and a meal isn’t complete without the salad! I like either cilantro or arugula for the greens, and feta cheese is my favorite addition.
You know, I've never had Sudanese food, I dont know of any restaurants in my area. But I'm with you, it goes with everything! Its so good with cilantro, I've never tried it with arugula but I bet it would be delish!
I'm American and feel the same. Even morning meals.
Im sudanese too and you are right. We also add a little chilli powder sometimes
Awesome! I was wondering if I could substitute cilantro because I love it. Thank you!
I think we should all get together and have a potluck. 💙
It's also similar in Indian household too.. Cucumber, onion,tomatoes, green chillies with some coriander curd or lemon juice, it's really good :)
Sounds delicious! I love adding chilies to this too!
That sounds really good, better to me than the one with mint in it. But, I just hate mint though.
Yea same, i feel like all brown ppl have the same damn culture:p
we call it kachumbar in India
We call it kochjholl in eastern india with extra indigenous spices, stems of water lilies ,lotus seeds ,mustard oil and scented oil of barukumbi flower it really gives a Restaurant like vibe.
In Tunisia we add apple and we call it "summer salad"
love this!
Chefs kids I’m going try it this weekend
Sounds yummy!
I would try it with apple in next time
I'm in the comments taking notes! This is one of my fav salads!🫶🏾✨
Its SUCH a favorite! We can eat it with any meal of the day!
Me too sister.
Most cultures have this salad. I think it differs from dressing flavors and other minor additions. 😊
Yes, absolutely!
Tomatoes, cucumbers and onions are basic ingredients for all salads.
Its a arab salad we arabs created it
@@mrs_jeon787Who grown all these in the f kin desert? 🤣🤣 Just copy others calling it yours
@@mrs_jeon787Arabs didn’t have tomatoes prior to Native Americans. This is a latino dish called ceviche
I'm from Manila. In my family, we have a similar salad with onions, tomatoes, roasted eggplant, cucumber, olive oil, soy sauce, and calamansi (Philippine lime). It's good with crisp fried fish ❤
I do cucumber, tomato, purple onion, lime juice, cilantro, salt, pepper and avocado. Simple but delicious
Absolutely! Sounds so good. Avocado is a great addition
This is the correct way
Oh I forgot to mention some olive oil as well
yes
Fire 🔥 addition
Definetly will try it. Looks perfect for this spring & summer.

Thank You Love from South Africa ❤️
In Mexico we call this Pico De Gallo . We just normally dont add cucumber , but I’m sure it’s good with it 🙂
I call it YUMMY 😋!
We make a salad that is very similar pico de gallo as well! It's on my site as "salata falahiyeh" - farmers style salad. Instead of lime and cilantro, we use lemon and parsley. So many similarities with our food!
Two different things
That’s not pico de gallo. Just cause it looks like it, it doesn’t mean it’s the same. Pico de gallo only has tomato, onion, jalapeño and cilantro and lime juice. So just stop
This is not Pico de Gallo. While this dish has chopped tomato and onion in it, the addition of cucumber, mint, lemon juice, olive oil, etc. give it a different flavor profile than a Mexican salsa
Ohh, salad shirazi. One of the great and popular salads between iranian peoples.
Not quite shirazi salad. This is Arab style salata
Made this last night after watching this video it turned out great . I used cucumber,tomatoes,onions, fresh chopped garlic, oil, vinegar, lime juice, salt, pepper, oregano & Italian seasoning
In South Africa we add fresh hot peppers too, we call it salsa/ shatini 🔥🔥🔥
Love it with chilies as well!
We Afghans call it Salata. We cant eat without it😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
We call it salata in Arabic, too! Also, I loveee afghan food so much!
@@TheBitewithJackiewe call it salata in Romanian too. We do not use mint, parsley, sumac and we cut all in medium wedges not small cubes. ❤
I'm going to add some chic peas to mine 😊 thank you for recipe ❤
Great idea for some added protein! When you make it, please leave a comment under the recipe on m blog. I'd love to hear your thoughts!
@@TheBitewithJackie Wow!! I’ve been making this salad for years, for the Israelí family I work with.
In addition to the cucumbers, tomatoes, onions and parsley, I sometimes change it up and add corn, radishes, carrots, beets and cilantro (with lemon&olive dressing). We definitely have sumac in the spice cabinet 😊
Thanks for the other suggestions and for sharing your posts!!
In east Africa we call this salad kachumbari its a staple when we eat this with grilled foods its soo good 💃🏿💃🏿
I promise you can get anyone to eat salad making it this way! Even if you don’t have everything, simply dicing tomato & cucumber tiny like this, with cilantro a little salt, a little vinegar olive oil and a squeeze of lemon if you have it👌 chefs Kiss! If you don’t have olive oil lemon or cilantro it’s still good w just a little salt and vinegar & any veggies.
I'm with this 100%!!
We make this exact salad but sometimes we add beans or chickpeas to make it more filling. Also, we like to add pomegranate molasses to the dressing 🤌🤌🤌🤌😋
Yesss to the pom molasses. So good. great idea to add beans as well for extra protein!
In Russia we call it Cucumber and Tomato (=Ogurchik i Pomidorka) and it is by far the most commonly eaten salad.
We often add onion, bell pepper, radishes and any fresh herbs that we like. In summer it drowns in herbs from the garden, so we call this variety "summer salad".
We usually use salt and extravirgin sunflower oil or extravirgin olive oil, sometimes lemons and hot pepper and very rarely vinegar or spices.
It's my favourite!
I used to eat it very often while working in Kuwait for nearly 2 years. It looks sooo pretty and yummy! 😋
It's delicious with everything!
Delicious. I don't like lettuce so salads like this are what I love, I usually have mine with German sauerkraut.
Sounds delicious!
In India it’s called as kachumbar. Yum!!
Love it!!
Watching you makes me feel confident about myself 🦦
That's great!
@@TheBitewithJackie Kause I’m not tht fat
I'm from Pakistan and I make this almost everyday alongside lunch. you can eat it with yogurt as well, tastes absolutely delicious 😋
That salad is SO good next to grilled beef or lamb 🤤
We can eat it with literally anything! Even breakfast!
That salad is good next to rice also
We made it every day next our lunch especially in summer, the vegetables are cold ,it's so tasty and fresh
And fish and rice and even stew! We persians eat it with literally every dish and meal
Yes, You echoed my thoughts. Thank you 0:58
DELICIOUS MY FATHER USED TO MAKE IT DAILY..ITS VERY HEALTHY!! ❤ THANK YOU ❤
We make it daily too! Even for breakfast! Such a staple ❤
WOW!! Didn’t know about it until now, And I have made that salad during the summer. Very refreshing!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING WITH US ❤️MUCH BLESSINGS FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 🙏🏽
I bet this is refreshing af
It is!! So delicious
Middle Eastern cuisine is always super healthy and refreshing!!!
Ah that looks so good!
I make a shirazi salad that’s kind of similar to this. It’s delicious and fresh
Super delicious and healthy salad!
This is famous Kachumar Salad in Pakistan and it's my FAVORITE. I can eat a bread with just this salad and be the happiest girl of the world
Agreed!! It's delicious and just tastes like home
We also make kachoomar with daal chawal it's justtttt my comfort food❤️🤌 I'm from karachi 🤍
I was about to say that, Pakistani and Indians make this salad. I'm from a Punjabi background and we make this salad with raita on the side. It's yogurt with mint chutney blended together. It's best with biryani, simple salad, and raita. The raita helps cool down the heat from the biryani. Bon appetit 😋
Sounds delicious!
I'm a Pakistani but heard this name for the first time. We call it salaad not kachumar.
in Bangladesh we make it too... we use onion,tomato,cucumber,parsley,mustard oil,green chilli ..it's soooo good
Любим такой салат👍. Часто готовим его

Fantastic! Thanks for this.
It might not be complicated from the outset, but when we have this from an Arab household, we keep thinking as to what went into it to make it this awesome.
Thank you again. This is a favorite of mine.
Gotta try this it looks really good

Looks so good
In India, we call it kachumbar salad so pleasant in summer
Love it!
My favorite salad 🥗
Mine too!
Wow .... classic salad
You are literally the ONLY person that I have seen Alice tomatoes 🍅 the way I do it! Nicely done! 👏 👏👏👏👏
Love that!! It uses every last bit of the tomato so neatly lol
@@TheBitewithJackie - ***cut*** Idk what the heck the name Alice came from!!!!! LOL. I also remove that top hard “thingie” (for lack of a better word).
@@WILMA_ 'Alice' sounds way better than "cut' . I 'aliced' that argument by walking out the door. I 'aliced' toxic people from my life. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@nidhibhasin - LOL
I’m black and I be had this and it is so f’ing GOOD
It's so good with everything!
This salad looks so simple and delicious!! Thank you for posting. 👊🏽
I make it often. I call it delicious!
I make this and add chickpeas
Perfect!
My Husband taught me how to make this. He's from Lebanon 😊
Yes! It's enjoyed throughout the Levant and Arab countries
It’s originally an iranian salad the arab cuisines were very much influenced by the iranian cuisine 🤍
@@TheBitewithJackieand iran! This is a classic iranian salad it’s called salade shirazi 🇮🇷
@@Cloudnine422its mexican, tomatoes can’t grow in the desert
This looks like Aleppo salad I am doing it in the same way sometimes I add some pickles to it. Thanks for sharing us this delicious salad 😋.
Love it!
Super healthy and looks super good. ❤
We do the same in India, just adding curd to it. All variants are delicious tho.
I tried it.. with a twist and it so awesome👌. This was so fresh
So happy you enjoyed! ❤️ would you mind leaving a review under the recipe on my website thebitewithjackie.com
made this today, added quinoa, delicious, thank you for the recipe
I love a good salad 🥗
This salad is also made in Pakistan almost daily. Love fromPakistsn
And it's called "Salaad" in Pakistan 😅
My mother adds Cottage cheese or Soaked soyabean and few roasted peanuts to this.. ❤
How cool!
Looks FAB!!
I'm hungry watching this! What a very simple way to add vegetables to my daily meals. Gotta make it, thank you!
Did you say you add 'meth' in the dressing? 😂
Replayed it 3 times and it still sounds like meth. No thanks!
Wow someone finally discovered my secret ingredient!
GUYS! It’s SUMAC! 😂
Sorry to disappoint. As creative as that sounds, it’s actually SUMAC I put in my salad 😬
😂😂😂😂😂
Sumac is the key ingredient that for some reason she omitted naming it clearly in the video, though she did add to make this Salad Shirazi. Don’t forget to add it. It’s the true umami for this famous salad that you can find variations of throughout Middle East ( but in my unbiased view the best of them is this one, called salad Shirazi from Iran!)
I did not omit naming it. I called it by its Arab name "sm-MAC". Not "soo-mac". This version is Arabic salata. In my experience, shirazi salad doesn't contain sumac, and uses ab-ghooreh or extra lemon instead. They're very similar and we eat them the same way!
@@TheBitewithJackie Arab or Persian, I did say they're all variations of the same salad found throughout the middle east, and Sumac is added to the Salad Shirazi that I'm familiar with. I've never tried it with ab-ghooreh but worth trying I guess. I actually add avocado to my version and it's delicious and creamy.
Finally i have found the use for the bottle of sumac in my cupboard!
That looks so good 👍
Really liked it nothing complicated or time consuming ❤
Yummm kinda reminds me of tabolie. Hope i didn't butcher that Word 😂
Yes, kind of! But tabbouleh has much more parsley, less veggies and with bulgar added.
Indians also have this as a salad in their home. The only difference is that instead of the salad dressings we just use black salt
ooh black salt! Sounds interesting! Love hearing the similarities in food between cultures!
Very nice in every countey
Yes, for sure!
Fresh,colourfull,and nutritious . This veg salad is a delightful burst of flavors and textures🎉🎉🎉❤❤
Looks like pico de gallo
This is literally our srilankan salad too wow😂❤
It's so delicious with grilled chicken breast and Feta cheese 😋🥰
yummm love it!
In Marathi it is known as koshimbir
This looks so delicious😋😋
This looks great! Growing up, my parents made it with cucumbers, tomatoes, salt, pepper, parsley, and lemon juice. I personally like to add cilantro and a little bit of lettuce too!
As a middle eastern, I looooove this salad, its so crunchy and flavorful, I'd reccomend adding black beans or chickpeas to give a bit more variety in texture. Plus feta cheese if you're fancy.
Yum! I actually do that with a different salad! This one I enjoy being just veggies but I do love the idea of feta!
What's that 3 ingredients salt pepper and ?
Sumac
Sumac I think
Sumac
I heard "meth" frustrating!
I make this all the time so good
