This is our house salad, my comfort food.

A big bowl of fresh chopped vegetables, seasoned to the max with olive oil and preserved lemon paste.
Crumbled feta cheese, hard boiled egg, olives, and fresh crusty bread.
I’ll take this for breakfast, lunch, or dinner - satisfaction guaranteed.

Ingredients:

6 persian cucumber, peeled

3 tomatoes

A bunch of scallions/chives, chopped fine

½ a bunch dill, chopped fine

3 tbsp Olive oil

3 tbsp Preserved Lemon Paste*

For serving:

Your favorite type of olives

Feta cheese

Hard boiled egg

Bread

Optional add-ins: red bell peppers, radishes, parsley, sumac, za’atar.

Every time I make this salad I chop the vegetables differently, if I have the time I chop them more meticulously and if I don't, I chop them roughly. The rule is that there are no rules. Chop the tomatoes and cucumber as you like, add the chopped scallions and dill. Drizzle the olive oil and preserved lemon paste, mix well and adjust the seasoning as you go.

If you are from the camp of people that eats their salad straight from the mixing bowl then just top your salad with all of the toppings. If you prefer yours on a serving plate, this is the time. Place the salad on a serving plate, arrange the toppings, and dig in!

*Our Preserved Lemon Paste is an all-natural product and is therefore subject to slight variations due to the amount of natural pectin in each batch. We recommend that customers who receive Preserved Lemon Paste with a more gel-like texture either blitz their desired amount in a blender or use a knife to gently run through the product on a cutting board until it reaches their desired texture.
