I'm so proud to be posting this extremely delicious recipe which reminds me so much of my amazing country, Israel. Today is Israel's independence day. And while the signature food is actually Bbq, I chose to make this delicious plant-based rustic salad. A salad that has so much simplicity and so much authenticity. Simple, delicious just the way I remember it. I even took the time to film the video for it so be sure to check it out. The ingredients are basic, and the steps, as always, simple.

This recipe is for 1 person, but feel free to double the quantity! It goes fast.
