This video features the steps to make Persian Mast-o Khiar. 
This is a traditional Iranian dish that is served as an appetizer, side dish or a cool and refreshing salad. It’s also been popular for decades as a mezzeh chaser for chilled shots of vodka! The dish’s name translates to yogurt and cucumber which are its main ingredients. A handful of aromatic herbs, tangy dried fruits, spices and crunchy nuts perfect this dish.  Variations of this dish are seen in almost every culinary culture from Morocco to Iran, all through the Mediterranean and the Middle East. A close cousin of Mast-o Khiar is Tzatziki.  You can add raisins or craisins, and many Persians sprinkle crushed, dried Damascus rose on their Mast-o Khiar. Get creative and make it your own.
