Israeli Salad
Contributed by: Quick & Kosher, JAMIE GELLER
No wonder this is the quintessential salad from Israel. Even though half of the country is desert, Israel has some amazing produce. Its oranges, mangos and tomatoes are among the finest in the world.
I used to buy Israeli salad all the time, because it's so good, so healthy for you and so refreshing. But I always felt guilty when I got to the checkout line, because it's so expensive. That was before I knew how easy it was to make it yourself. Now I just buy tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers, and return home with zero guilt!

Honey and citrus flavors provide contrast to the North African-inspired spicing in this tasty turkey dish.
Pair turkey cutlets with roasted fennel and a rich pomegranate pan sauce for a simple, yet elegant, dish. Serve with a nutty-tasting bulgur pilaf for a delightful meal.
