Israeli salad is used as a side dish, garnish and as an addition to sliced meat in a Syrian pocket. There are no "greens" in this salad, the vegetables are simply chopped and mixed together. Add salad dressing and spices. Improved flavor comes from being made a few hours ahead of time and/or served at room temperature.

Serves 6-8.
