Israeli salad is a finely diced salad of chopped tomato and cucumber. Parsley and spring onions are sometimes added, but not lettuce. The salad is usually dressed with fresh lemon juice and olive oil. Often it is served with falafel, but it is also offered as a self-standing side dish or salad. It was one of the components of the traditional Israeli breakfast, before the advent of breakfast cereals.

Despite the name and its popularity in Israel, Israeli salad is also featured in other Mediterranean cuisines. It is similar to the Persian Salad Shirazi, although the Persian salad usually contains mint, as well as Choban salad, popular in Turkey.
