Doogh (Persian Yogurt Drink)
I first had this Iranian drink called doogh at my in-laws’ house and I’d go as far as saying it’s 3052% more refreshing than most other beverages. Doogh is like a mint-yogurt frappé.
Muhammara (Syrian Red Pepper + Walnut Dip)
Kinda sounds like an evil laugh, no? Muah-ha-ha-ha-mmarra!
Paleo Tabbouleh Salad (i.e. Tabouli)
Tabbouleh is one of my husband's favorite dishes. I actually remember us making an enormous bowl of it at his apartment when we were first dating and bickering over how much lemon juice to put into it (for the record, he was right—it needed more lemon).
Slow-Cooker Ghormeh Sabzi
My husband is about to get some well-deserved credit for his creations like this Iranian stew.

I think I ate all the cucumbers in Southern California last year during a heat wave.
