Persian Maast-o-Khiar

This is a great tasting and healthy dip that works well with absolutely anything. Put it on rice, kabobs, etc. or just eat it with bread, chips, or by itself. Really refreshing and light!

  • 3-4 Persian cucumbers (depends on how much crunch you want)--you can also use English cucumbers but the sizes vary so adjust amount accordingly
