Israeli Salad

This Israeli salad is so scrumptious. It is light, tangy, crunchy, refreshing and incredibly easy to make. We love it in the summer with fresh garden veggies, but crave it all year. I suppose you can play with the ingredient ratios to suit your taste, as with any recipe. This one was a "hand me down" from a friend who has always somehow, someway been a part of our family. Much thanks to Courtenay.
