Israeli Salad
Melissa Ben-Ishay
This salad is a close cousin to the Mediterranean Chopped Salad. I added olives for a salty bite and added garlic because I like it. When Adi makes this, he dresses with just lemon juice, salt, and olive oil—if you don’t have any garlic, do that. The output will be just as delicious, and you’ll still want to slurp up every last drop.

Ingredients
4 mini cucumbers
3 tomatoes
½ red onion
¼ cup Castelvetrano olives
Juice of 1½ lemons
1 garlic clove, grated
½ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
- Finely chop the cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, and olives, as small as you can make it.
- Add the lemon juice, garlic, salt, olive oil, and a few turns of black pepper. Stir to combine and eat on a chip.
