This Israeli Salad is surely like none other you have ever had. I got this recipe from a friend and since then it has been a staple in my house. I like the simplicity as well as the flavor that goes with it. Its creamy instead of oily and very low in fat.
Cut up the cucumber and tomatoes into very small pieces, you can add onions if you wish, I usually leave them out. I then add 1 tsp low fat mayonnaise, about 3/4 tsp garlic powder and 1/2 tsp salt. Taste it, it may need more garlic or salt. This salad is only good fresh, do not prepare more than 10 minutes before serving it. I usually cut up the vegetables beforehand and finish right before. Enjoy, its sure to be a winner in your house as well.
I make one similar without the mayo & add parsley flakes, sour pickles & peppers. Then I slice mango & avocado in slices on the bottom of a plate & put the israeli salad in a mound in the middle. It looks like a flower with the mango & avocado the leaves of the flower & the israeli salad as the center.
