Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tomatoes, chopped
1 large cucumber, peeled and chopped
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Accompaniments: warm pita bread, olive oil, and Za'atar

Steps:

  • Stir together tomatoes, cucumber, scallions, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Squeeze lemon juice over salad and stir. Drizzle oil over salad and stir.

Tips:

  • Choose the best tomatoes and cucumbers: Vine-ripened tomatoes and fresh, firm cucumbers are the key to a flavorful salad. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a sweet, juicy flavor. Cucumbers should be firm and crisp, with no signs of wilting.
  • Cut the vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly and absorb the dressing more easily. Aim for 1/2-inch thick slices or cubes.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you make clean, even cuts and prevent the vegetables from bruising.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the vegetables, make sure to give them enough space so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of fry and won't get as flavorful.
  • Season to taste: Once the vegetables are cooked, taste them and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to taste.

Conclusion:

Israeli tomato and cucumber salad is a refreshing, flavorful, and healthy dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy this delicious salad in no time.
