Galilee Green Israeli Salad

Bring a taste of Israel into your home!

You can find Israeli Salad at any meal and on any table in Israel. Especially when Israelis are barbecuing outdoors like they do on Yom HaAtzmaut – Israel Independence day which falls on May 9, 2019.   This salad showcases fresh tasting Israeli tomatoes and cucumbers with a generous shpritz of lemon juice and olive oil.  It can include whatever vegetable that can be chopped into small squares.

What makes a salad an Israeli Salad?

Most likely it is the look of the vegetables chopped as small as possible.  It can also be the variety of colors, red, green, purple and orange, but it is definitely the taste.  The lemon and onion jumps out playfully and pleasantly.  I like to add pickles for the saltiness.  The dash of pepper and garlic compliments and enhances the flavors of the ingredients.

Fresh Israeli Garlic, Lemon and GGOO!

Many recipes call for fresh chopped parsley for the green and added freshness.  Go ahead and be creative.  Just think small and chopped.  There are no exact measurements.  Have fun and enjoy and bring the taste of Israel to your table.
