Israeli Salad

Name: Israeli Salad Recipe
Prep time: 25 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 6
Ingredients: 3 large sweet bell peppers; 1 or 2 cucumbers; 3 scallions; 2 medium tomato; 1 cup chopped parsley (or 8 Tablespoons dried); 1/2 cup lemon juice; 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil (if desired); Use red yellow and orange bell peppers for additional color and nutrition. I like to use an English or seedless cucumber. It causes less gas (for me) than regular cukes. Use lemon juice to rehydrate dried parsley flakes or use 1 cup finely chopped fresh parsley with less lemon juice.; After mixing all together store in a covered container overnight in refrigerator. Tastes better if drizzled with 1 teaspoon EVOO when served.; Can be used for any meal or snack.

Directions

Measure dried parsley flakes into small bowl. Add lemon juice and stir to moisten. Let stand while other vegetables are prepared. Chop all vegetables to desired size and place in large bowl. Add parsley and lemon juice and mix well with hands to distribute parsley evenly. Store in covered container (I use a 3 pound margarine tub with lid) in refrigerator overnight. Serve for any meal or as a side dish. Drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil if desired when serving.
