Israeli Salad

 

Isn’t it beautiful! It’s so full of color. I fell in love with this salad immediately. Also, it’s SUPER healthy. For any weight watcher followers, you only have to count the olive oil in this recipe (if you are following the old plan). Galit told me that this salad is something that we would find in any food stand in Israel. A lot of people will eat it like a salad or throw it in a falafel. I can’t wait to try it in our falafel.

What you need to make it:

cucumber finely diced

carrots finely shredded

radishes finely shredded

green onion

tomato

red bell pepper

cilantro

fresh parsley

mint

garlic

1/2 cup olive oil or less

lemon juice

salt and pepper to taste

Chop your ingredients finely and combine them all in a bowl. Drizzle lemon juice and olive oil on top. Salt and pepper to taste. LOVE this salad! It’s one I will be making a lot this summer since you can refrigerate it and eat it until it’s gone.

Thanks, Galit for this wonderful salad recipe. Coming up, a salad recipe from Galit that has history and a story. This next recipe is almost 100 years old.
