For Iranians, sabzi khordan (a bowl of greens) is a refreshing addition to any meal. It's served as a standalone appetizer or as a side dish to a main course. The types of greens used can vary depending on preference, season, and market availability, but in Iran, the most common options are mint, basil, and watercress, which can be substituted with arugula. This herb dish is also popular in Armenian, Azerbaijani, and Kurdish cuisines.
