Israeli Salad with Tomato and Cucumber

August 4, 2020

Israeli salad is the perfect summer bite. It takes the absolute best of summer’s bounty and combines it into a light and refreshing salad. It makes a great side or light lunch during the warmer months when we all crave tomato salads and lighter meals.

I first had this salad about 25 years ago. A friend introduced me to it and I fell in love instantly.

It is refreshing on a hot summer day and it’s also good for you! If you have a garden or you happen to have salad ingredients in your fridge, you likely have almost everything you need already.
