Salat Katzutz and Green Tahina

Salat Hatzutz (Israeli chopped salad) is served for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It accompanies an omelet at brunch and is stuffed inside a pita with falafel. The salad is more a condiment than a dish. However, when salat hatzutz is served with tahina and bread it can be very satisfying indeed.
