I agree this screams summer, and one of my favorites to eat all year actually- add a little jalapeno and you will beat the heat here!

perfect picture....the dressing must have been really good....i make a salad with these ingredients but with an uncooked dressing .......this should be a great variation.

There's an Indian version of this that's very similar, using coriander instead of parsley. It's refreshing alongside a spicy dish. It's a really colourful salad.

How can you go wrong with such simple and fresh ingredients - though I couldn't make it without adding feta. I have eaten tomato, onion, cucumber and feta as my meal for so many nights of my youth - but still cannot get enough of it. YUMMMM.

this dish pretty much epitomizes spring. the crunch of the cukes and the juicy squirt of the maters would combine wonderfully in the mouth--bravo, angie!

Every Friday night for Shabbat dinner, my parents would order a big container of "Israeli Salad". basically... it's exactly what you made and I love it. Try it with a slices of hard boiled egg... when mixed with the lemon juice, it creates a lovely dressing.
