After going to Trader Joe's, the next foodie thing I did in DC was go to the farmers market! (I'm so predictable). I bought cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions, and realized I had just bought the ingredients for the most perfect summer dinner - Israeli salad! Typically, Israeli salad is chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions, tossed with lemon juice, a tad of olive oil, salt and pepper. I also added chickpeas into this version, for some protein.
I was really surprised when I checked my archives that I'd never made this before and posted it - Israeli salad is literally one of my favorite dishes. It is so light and refreshing and always a pleasure. My favorite is from Hummus Place in New York. It has become absolutely mandatory that I get at least a side of it every time I eat there. My own salad needs some more practice before it can be as good as theirs!
