Mediterranean Chopped Salad Recipe

This recipe is inspired by my mother-in-law. When we go to visit my husband’s family in Israel I can’t get enough of my mother-in-law’s salads, especially this one! It’s simple, it’s crunchy and oh so delicious!

This salad stays delicious in the refrigerator for up to a week! It tastes great alone, but my favorite is to eat it with chips like salsa. You can also use it on sandwiches or tacos.

Pro Tip: A tomato knife with a serrated edge works best for dicing the tomatoes.
