Caveraeli Salad


By Caution: Caveman Cooking (Visit website)



Caveraeli Salad

Our culinary journey to the Middle East continues with a Cali-Caveman’s take on the classic Israeli Salad. The great thing about this recipe is that it compliments many Western dishes, as well. A tasty, delicious, refreshing salad that works especially well in the warm weather months.


INGREDIENTS


1 Medium Cucumber

1 Medium Tomato

3/4 Medium Avocado

1/4 Sweet Onion

3 Tbsp Olive Oil

3 Tbsp Italian Flat Leaf Parsely, minced

1/4 Tsp Celery Seeds

Juice from 1/3 to 1/2 Fresh Myers Lemon

Salt and Pepper to taste


RECIPE


Dice cucumber, tomato and onion.

HINT: Traditionally, this recipe calls for Roma Tomatoes. However, you really can use whatever variety you wish. For this dish, I went with Heirloom Cherry Tomatoes for their color as well as their flavor.

Diced Veggies


Chop onions and mince parsley.

Chopped Onions and Minced Parsley


Place all the above into a large mixing bowl.

Ingredients In A Bowl


Seed lemon and then squeeze juice over ingredients. Add Olive oil and Celery Seeds.

Gently toss salad until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

Tossing Salad


Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate. Plate with Hummus, Tahina Sauce, Baba Ghanouj, Falafel, Kabobs, Pita Bread, or any other regional dish. Or, add some Grilled Shrimp and turn it into an entree. This salad is so versatile … and so gooooood!

Caveraeli Salad


SIDE NOTE: As a teenager, I actually lived on the traditional version of this salad and Chicken Schnitzel for three months and got quite burned out on it. It took me years before I could even think about being in the same room with this salad! When I finally decided to give it another chance, I knew I had to give it a different spin if I was going to eat it on any type of semi-regular basis. This recipe was the result. By the way, I still can’t bring myself to come face to face with Schnitzel.
