Salat Katzutz - "Chopped Salad" (Israeli Salad) - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 cucumber (english or seedless is best)
2 tomatoes (firm, ripe!)
1/2 red onion
1/2 red pepper (optional)
parsley
1 lemon
olive oil
Preparation
-
chop up the cucumber and tomato FINELY. It is chopped salad, because it is supposed to be chopped up! i'd say peel the cucumber, but it's not a must. The firmer, tastier the tomato, the better! If using red pepper, chop it up to about the same small size.
Chop up the red onion very small, maybe even slightly finer than the other vegetables.
Cut up/dice the parsely to taste - i'd probably use about 4 sprigs of parsely (any type works - italian, curly, etc.).
the key is the dressing - very simple - simply make a 50/50 olive oil and lemon juice mix, and salt and pepper to taste.
Mix it all together in a bowl and serve/eat.
