AFGHAN TOMATO, CUCUMBER AND ONION SALAD (SALATA)

Afghan Tomato, Cucumber and Onion Salad (Salata) image

"Salata is always light and crunchy, making it a perfect counterpoint to Afghan cuisine's heavier dishes. Some Afghan cooks consider it a point of pride when the diced vegetables are small and uniform in size. The result reminds a little of a colorful bowl of confetti. For those in Afghanistan who can afford fresh vegetables, salata is a staple on the Afghan table. If you can't get your hands on any decent tomatoes, hang onto the recipe until you can."
