ISRAELI SALAD
Israeli salad can typically be found at the many falafel street stands all over Israel. It is served on its own as a side dish or inside a pita sandwich wrap. This fresh, light, and colorful salad is sure to become a favorite for your family. Chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and parsley combine with a drizzled dressing of lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and mint leaves. Goes great in a pita with falafel, hummus, and tahini, but also works as a side dish with any middle eastern, Greek, or even north African food.

SALAT KATZUTZ - "CHOPPED SALAD" (ISRAELI SALAD)
my favorite salad, the easiest and simplest thing you've ever had. Israelis put it in any type of pita, and eat it at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It is the best. Very healthy, simple, and easy. The quality of the vegetables really make the salad, so get the firmest and ripest tomatoes, cucumber, etc. That's why this is best IN ISRAEL :)

Steps:
- chop up the cucumber and tomato FINELY. It is chopped salad, because it is supposed to be chopped up! i'd say peel the cucumber, but it's not a must. The firmer, tastier the tomato, the better! If using red pepper, chop it up to about the same small size.
- Chop up the red onion very small, maybe even slightly finer than the other vegetables.
- Cut up/dice the parsely to taste - i'd probably use about 4 sprigs of parsely (any type works - italian, curly, etc.).
- the key is the dressing - very simple - simply make a 50/50 olive oil and lemon juice mix, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix it all together in a bowl and serve/eat.

Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the salad will be.
- Chop the vegetables evenly. This will help ensure that they cook evenly and that the salad has a consistent texture.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still have a little bit of crunch.
- Add the dressing to taste. Start with a small amount and add more as needed.
- Let the salad chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the salad to become more flavorful.
