Shiraz Salad

As promised in the previous post, here's the recipe for the Shiraz salad that I prepared for Father's Day.  This is probably the easiest and quickest Persian recipe you'll ever encounter.  This was the very first Persian dish my mom learned to make.  I used to watch her prepare this when I was little.  Years later, when I went off to college/university, I would prepare this every week when I got tired of the usual North American college student 's staple diet of instant mac and cheese, two-dollar pizzas and instant noodles.  Needless to say, this was the first "real"  and nutritious food I ever learned to put together.
