I absolutely love how fresh this Israeli Salad is. Israeli salad is a chopped salad of finely diced tomato, onion, cucumber, and bell or chili peppers. It is one of the most well-known national dishes of Israel, and is a standard accompaniment to most Israeli meals.
I love making Isreali Salad when it gets warmer outside. It goes great with anything grilled, especially grilled chicken or shrimp skewers! The crunch, the fresh flavors, the everything– it’s just perfect.
If you enjoy this Israeli Salad, try my Mediterranean Israeli Couscous Salad!
