Israeli Breakfast Salad


Breakfast was my favorite meal (by far) when in israel. Salads and vegetables in general are very common for breakfast. This mixed cheese salad was a favorite and leaves lots of room for variations. Enjoy! (cook time is just rest time)

Steps


Halve the cucumber lengthwise , score with the tines of a fork , sprinkle with salt and let stand for 30 minutes.
In mixing bowl combine the cheeses with the onion , green pepper , lemon juice and olive oil.

Transfer to a shallow serving bowl and garnish with the mint sprigs and let stand in a cool place for 1 / 2 hour before serving.
