About

One thing you can count on in Israel for breakfast, lunch or dinner, is a salad of finely chopped vegetables. You can vary the herbs, add a pinch of spice such as sumac or cumin, and omit the chilli. Lemon or lime juice can be added instead of vinegar, and a handful of olives always makes a great addition.
