While this salad is undoubtedly delicious and is in fact ubiquitous in Israel it is not israeli salad. Rather it is called "Salat Yirakot" or vegetable salad. Israeli salad, or salat yisraelit, does not contain cucumbers. Either way the salads are delicious and can be easily altered to include chickpeas or yellow pepper and are delicious when served as part of breakfast alongside two eggs, a small quantity of cheese and some rustic whole wheat bread. B'teavon (bon appetit in hebrew).
