This bright, herb-forward Persian salad is everything a warm-weather side dish should be — crisp, refreshing, and packed with bold flavor from just a handful of fresh ingredients. Finely diced cucumbers, Roma tomatoes, and red onion come together in a lemony olive oil dressing that's punchy without being heavy. A sprinkle of dried mint is the secret weapon here, giving the whole bowl an aromatic lift that makes it taste far more complex than the short ingredient list suggests. Since every component is naturally grain-free, there's zero concern about hidden gluten-containing grains sneaking in through dressings, croutons, or packaged seasoning blends. A quick ten-minute rest lets the vegetables release their juices and meld with the dressing, so by the time it hits the table the flavors are perfectly balanced. It works beautifully alongside grilled meats, stuffed into a wrap, or just eaten straight from the bowl with a spoon.
