Israeli Salad
Report
This Israeli salad is a refreshing blend of chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, onions and peppers, all tossed in a lemon dressing. A colorful side dish that pairs well with chicken and fish!

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups cucumber finely diced
- 1 cup Roma tomato seeded and finely diced
- 1/4 cup red onion minced
- 1 cup bell peppers finely diced, you can use red, orange, yellow or a combination of colors
- 1/4 cup parsley leaves minced
- 1 tablespoon mint leaves minced, optional
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the cucumber, tomato, onion, bell peppers, parsley and mint (if using) in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
- Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. I recommend serving this salad right away.
Notes
- I typically use Persian or English cucumbers for this salad. You can use traditional waxed cucumbers, but you’ll want to peel them first and scoop out the seeds.
- Roma tomatoes are the best choice for Israeli salad as they are firm and don’t contain as many seeds as other varieties.
- You can use any color of bell pepper that you have on hand..
- This salad can be made up to 2 days before you plan to serve it. Keep in mind that tomatoes can become mealy when stored in the fridge, so I do think the texture is best on this salad when served right away.
