Cyprus is such a fantastic place for fresh produce. I wanted to share with you today, the most delicious summer salad, that I’ve named Cyprus Salad.

The Coolest Places to Eat in Israel
For me when travelling, food is a big part of the experience. I love trying local dishes, and I personally think its such an important thing to do when you are travelling.
