“Israeli” Cowboy Salad

Did you know we have cowboys in Israel?

There’s nothing particularly Israeli about this salad other than it uses Galilee Green Olive Oil. The recipe comes from Galilee Green Family member Trisha Clover from Vancouver WA. We love it when you share recipes with us!

Black beans and corn were staples in Texas and popular fair with cowboys in America. By the way, did you know we have cowboys in Israel? You can find them in the Jezreel Valley, the Galilee and the Golan Heights.

Here’s a picture of one on the Golan Heights with the Kinneret and hills of the Galilee in the background. It’s from a website dedicated to Israeli Cowboys!

Ingredients:

• 2 cans black beans
• 1 can corn (or fresh) after cooked
• 1 large handful Cilantro
• 5 green onions
• 3 medium tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon Galilee Green Olive Oil
• 2 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• salt/pepper to taste

Directions:

• Drain and rinse beans
• Chop cilantro, green onions, and tomatoes
• Toss all together and serve

You can also use chopped Bell Pepper, Avocado, or anything else.
And after you make it once, you many want to add a little more cilantro, olive oil, and lime juice like Trisha did at times. Try it the original way first!

Enjoy! Thanks again Trish for the recipe, we love it!
