"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.

Ten stars all the way! We loved this salad as a fresh side with some roasted pork and veggies, but would stand equally well on it's own (loved the leftovers with some crumbled feta!). All of the flavors play so well together, especially the hint of cinnamon and the crunch of the pomegranate seeds. Thanks for sharing - this is a recipe that we'll have often, as everything but the pom is a pantry staple for us.
