Mediterranean Night - Israeli Salad (Tomato, Cucumber, Green Pepper and Red Onion)

Israeli Salad -

Very simple, light and refreshing - A a good side dish to a more heavily seasoned main dish.


We're having it along with our Gyros tonight (made with seitan, which is a wheat "meat" - You can get it at Whole Foods etc. for about $4 a box)  I marinate it in Cavendar's Greek seasoning, olive oil, lemon juice and garlic and then fry it and put it in pita bread with tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, onion etc and usually top with tzatziki (yogurt/cucumber dip), either home made or store bought.  Very tasty!

Israeli Salad

Adjust quantity of veggies to how many servings you need - for about 4 servings this is what I used:

2 Tomatoes
1/2 Cucumber
1/4 Red Onion
1 Small Green Pepper 
2 TBSP Olive Oil
2 Tsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
