Undressed Herb Salad

The native name for this dish, sabzi khordan, literally translates as “eating greens” and it’s a vital accompaniment to any authentic Persian meal. It’s a light and refreshing way to begin any meal, as it awakens the appetite. It’s fairly simple to create an undressed salad, just make sure that the herbs you use are fresh and in season. A dressing is not usually served, as that would steal the limelight from the real stars of the show.
