Limi says, "In Israel this popular salad, also known as Arabic salad, is enjoyed throughout the day. It is a simple local recipe, an expression of the abundance of our vegetables and the richness of the soil. Make sure that the cucumbers and tomatoes are fresh and firm. As a little girl, I always used to drink the juice from the salad left in the bowl. In fact, to this day, I still do that — but don’t tell anyone! For a Syrian version, add ½ tsp of ground cumin."
