"This salad which is essentially made with chopped tomatoes and cucumbers, dressed with lemon juice, pomegranates, etc. is served everywhere and with everything in Israel; alongside a breakfast omelette, inside a huge Iraqi-style flatbread with lamb shawarma, or as a main course topped with garlicky chicken or scattered with crumbled white cheese served on it's own as a side or making part of a light lunch.

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Halve the cucumbers lengthwise and use a teaspoon to remove the seeds and watery centers. Then cut the cucumbers into thin strips and then into dice.
Step 2
Put all the ingredients in a bowl, in the order listed (cucumbers - pomegranate seeds), except that you leave the lemon juice, olive oil, cinnamon and salt until just before serving.
Step 3
Toss together, then taste for seasoning and adjust with a little more salt, if necessary. Serve immediately, at room temperature.
