Last month I wrote a post about eating the different meals of the day. And I thought to myself – why not have an Israeli breakfast? So I hopped into my private jet, flew to Tel Aviv and went to Gilly\u2019s restaurant….just kidding, I don’t have a jet.<\/p>\n

But you can still enjoy an Israeli breakfast at home no matter what country you live in. So let’s get started. Here’s a list of what you’ll need to put it together:<\/p>\n

\u05d2\u05b0\u05d1\u05b4\u05d9\u05e0\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea<\/span> – (ge-veen-ot<\/em>) cheeses (a variety of hard, soft and cottage cheeses<\/em>)

\n\u05de\u05b4\u05d9\u05e5 \u05ea\u05b7\u05e4\u05bc\u05d5\u05bc\u05d6\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd<\/span> – (meets tah-poo-zeem<\/em>) orange juice
\n\u05de\u05b4\u05d9\u05e5 \u05ea\u05b7\u05e4\u05bc\u05d5\u05bc\u05d7\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd <\/span> – (meets tah-poo-kheem<\/em>) apple juice

Israeli Salad<\/h3>\n

In Israel, salad is served throughout the country and included with every meal, including breakfast. It is actually known in Israel as \u05e1\u05b8\u05dc\u05b8\u05d8 \u05e7\u05b8\u05e6\u05d5\u05bc\u05e5<\/span> \u2018salat katzutz\u2019, chopped salad, or \u05e1\u05b8\u05dc\u05b8\u05d8 \u05e2\u05b2\u05e8\u05b8\u05d1\u05b4\u05d9<\/span>\u2018salat aravi\u2019, Arab salad. You can prepare this in just about any way you like.<\/p>\n

You will need:
\n\u05e2\u05b7\u05d2\u05b0\u05d1\u05b8\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9\u05b8\u05bc\u05d4<\/span>\u00a0(ahg-vahn-yah<\/em>) – tomato
\n\u05de\u05b0\u05dc\u05b8\u05e4\u05b0\u05e4\u05d5\u05b9\u05df<\/span> (meh-lah-feh-fohn<\/em>) – cucumber
\n\u05de\u05d9\u05e5 \u05dc\u05d9\u05de\u05d5\u05df<\/span> (meets lee-mon<\/em>) – lemon juice
\n\u05e9\u05b6\u05c1\u05de\u05b6\u05df \u05d6\u05b7\u05d9\u05b4\u05ea<\/span> (sheh-men zay-eet<\/em>) – olive oil<\/p>\n

To make the salad, the vegetables should be at room temperature and fresh from the market. Chop them up into small pieces and mix it all together with the olive oil, lemon juice, and add salt and pepper to taste. This is the base of the salad, although it’s pretty good like this. You can add other ingredients such as \u05d6\u05b7\u05e2\u05b0\u05ea\u05b7\u05bc\u05e8<\/span> (zah-‘aht-ar) – hyssop, bell peppers, different herbs or spices, sesame seeds, etc. to add more flavor.<\/p>\n

But it doesn’t have to be for breakfast<\/h3>\n

Israeli salad is also a great side dish with any meal \u2013 or a snack of pita bread filled with salad, and hummus for example.<\/p>\n
