My mother in law made this salad one summer in Iran. It was so very hot and I was getting sick from the heat. She said ‘ok’ - ‘lay down’. She made this and made me eat a lot! Somehow it was exactly what I needed. She didn’t speak English very well, and my Farsi is even worse! But apparently the cool vegetables have an effect on your internal “thermometer” and can cool you down! Plus it tastes soooo good!!

The reason it makes you feel better is because you were suffering from heat exhaustion and you were probably dehydrated. The salad gave you fluids and electrolytes... Which made you feel better. And a lot healthier than a Gatorade or other sugary electrolyte drink.

I grew up in Central California where we have a fairly large population of Armenians, Persians and from other Mediterranean countries. Most came to farm as our climate is Mediterranean. Since childhood I've eaten variations of this. Basic version of tomatoes cucumbers and red onions, chopped fine like this, sliced, thin or thick, or chopped in big chunks. Sometimes seasoned, sometimes just salt and pepper. On a good day with feta cheese. It was always just called "Summer Salad" most of the time for simplicity. I've been making it every week this summer. If you have this in the fridge you are minutes away from a meal. Chop some lettuce, throw any canned beans on it, garbanzo are especially good, then spoon as much of this as you want on it. So refreshing on a very hot day. I'll add some sumac.

Considering that the first dozen or so times that I ate this, it was prepared by and served to me by Arabs, and they called it Arabic salad, I’m pretty comfortable calling it that. Lots of variations on this recipe but as long as it has tomato, cucumber, lemon, salt, and olive oil then I will enjoy it regardless of what it’s called. I like a bit of Aleppo pepper and black pepper as well as thyme, oregano, parsley, and sometimes basil. A touch of onion if I have a sweet onion available. I’m definitely going to try the mint though.
