Israeli Salad

By sherryl61

This is an awesome salad to pair with grilled meats, middle eastern dishes or falafel. I love it with grilled steaks or with grilled lamb or kabobs.

Ingredients

• 6 cucumbers, diced
• 4 roma (plum) tomatoes, seeded and diced
• 5 green onions, sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
• 1/3 cup chopped garlic
• 1 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 cup minced fresh mint leaves
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 tablespoon ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Toss the cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, bell pepper, garlic, parsley, and mint together in a bowl.

Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the salad and toss to coat. (I add extra lemon juice at times for more tang. I also like this with both lemon and lime juice combined.)

Season with salt and pepper to serve.
