Amazingly, there will be two or three or more salads available for breakfast in Israel (in restaurants). At breakfast in an Israel Hotel, for example, they will have a buffet which typically includes salads (a salad with small pieces of tomatos, cukes, onions and spices is sometimes called an "Israeli Salad" - that's what the image is on the left). If they have a buffet for lunch and dinner, the salad choices may even increase to 7, 8 or more types of salads. Lots of Israeli salads have tomatoes as a component. This may be because the tomatoes are pretty good. One person I know said he had a friend that emigrated to Israel because of the tomatoes.
One of my son's teachers hypothesized that Israelis make salad as a type of therapy - something like the role that gardening has amongst the English.
