Israeli Salad is a refreshing and vibrant dish originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly Israel. Its main ingredients include finely diced tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and parsley, often enhanced with fresh lemon juice, olive oil, and a touch of salt and pepper. Some variations may include bell peppers, radishes, or herbs like mint. Known for its simplicity and versatility, Israeli Salad is packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, primarily from the fresh vegetables. It’s low in calories and high in fiber, making it a great choice for healthy eating. The olive oil adds heart-healthy fats, while the lemon juice provides a zesty flavor without added sugars. However, the amount of olive oil can increase calorie and fat content if used excessively. Commonly served as a side dish, it pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, falafel, or hummus, reflecting its significance in Israeli and Middle Eastern culinary traditions.
