This is a wonderful salad. It reminds me of my Lebanese step grandmother's salad dressing. Oh yum. Please don't go hating on this due to the clash of cultures. TY. Let's stay focused on beautiful food.

Hello, this is how we make the salad in Turkey. There are common dishes in Greece, Türkiye and Israel. It originates from the close geography. There are certain dishes that can be prepared in whatever grows in that climate.

Oh. My. Gosh!! It's salad! Fresh ingredients. Great taste. What's not to like? Who CARES who put it together first? No one of you squeezed out the first cucumber seed! Enjoy for the sake of the food, for goodness sake.

He imparted to us an entire cuisine of Sephardic culture of France and Spain without us knowing any of the Hebrew names.

Reminds me of Turkish shepherds salad. But let’s be honest here: A salad of tomatoes, cucumber, onion etc can be found almost anywhere in the world and especially in the Middle East and surrounding regions. I would just call this “a salad”.

That looks good. I will steal the recipe. Replace the parsley with cilantro and throw in a diced serrano chile... Wait a second, that's salsa!

Arabs can complain about Israelis culturally "appropriating their food" when they stop being Muslim or Christian -- which are, ya know, cultural appropriation of Judaism.
