Friends from countries around the globe have taught us that everybody eats salad, but every region has its own special variety based on what produce is grown there. Our friend Amit grew up in Israel and this is a traditional recipe that she remembers her mother making frequently for her family. Great on its own, it is especially delish when paired with Hummus!

15 minutes

• 3 medium or 6 small Israeli cucumbers, diced
• 4 Roma tomatoes, diced
• 1 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
• 1/2 cup fresh peppermint leaves, chopped
• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
