Israeli Salad Experience the fresh and vibrant taste of an authentic Israeli Salad, a dish I became obsessed with during my trip to Israel. This simple yet flavorful salad combines chopped tomatoes, crisp onions, cucumbers, and fresh herbs. It’s a perfect addition to any meal, we love adding it to these Beef Gyros. After participating in local cooking classes in Israel, I’ve perfected this recipe, bringing a taste of Israeli culinary tradition right to your plate. Ingredients Cucumbers & Tomatoes: Form the base of the salad, offering crunch and juiciness. Parsley & Red Onion: Add freshness and a hint of sharpness. Lemon Juice & Olive Oil: Create a tangy and smooth dressing. Paprika, Salt, & Pepper: Season the salad, adding spice and enhancing flavors. QUICK TIPKristen suggests various Israeli Salad variations: add Greek yogurt for creaminess, chickpeas for heartiness, jalapeño for spice, olives, capers, or pepperoncini for zing, and top with feta cheese for extra flavor.
