Israeli Salad

My favourite place to eat in London is Inspiral Lounge in Camden Town. It's cheap and super yummy, the potato wedges and vegan garlic mayo rocks! Check it out: http://www.inspiralled.net/

Another of my favourites is their Israeli Salad and here's my version of it:

Israeli Salad

You'll need:

3-4 large tomatoes

2 green peppers

1 avocado (optional, but I love it!)

5 tbsp poppy seeds

2 large cucumbers

1 large red onion

3 tbsp lemon juice

2 tsp agave syrup

2 tsp za’atar (Thyme, Oregano, Basil & Seasame Seeds)

2 tbsp freshly chopped parsley

salt & freshly ground black pepper

1 cup olive oil

What to do:

Halve the tomatoes & discard the seeds.

Chop the tomatoes into small cubes.

De-seed the green peppers and chop, and do the same for the cucumbers.

Remove the skin from the red onion and chop.

Toss all ingredients together in a large glass or ceramic bowl.

Combine the lemon juice, agave syrup, za'atar, salt & pepper and whisk.

Continue whisking & stream in the olive oil until combined.

Pour dressing over salad and mix in.

Mix in the poppy seeds

Chop the avocado & place on the top of the salad

Love & Peace.
