Israeli Salad With A Twist

By: Kara Parnell

We are in love with this salad! It's everything a salad should be...loaded with colourful veg, full of fresh and vibrant flavours, and exciting! There's nothing worse than a salad with no personality - flat, flavourless, boring. 

This Israeli Salad With A Twist is vibrant, fresh, and full of bright herbaceous flavours. It's quick and easy to make and can either shine as the main dish for a light dinner, served with pita and a hunk of feta cheese, or as a beautiful side dish to elevate your meal.
