Later on Monday evening we drove to Tel Aviv to meet up with a few friends. We dined in the Ramat-Aviv neighborhood at a restaurant in the Brodeski commercial center.
For an appetizer we shared warm goat cheese on a rice and cucumber salad.
My host chose the schnitzel and mashed potatoes, which looked all together way too American for my tastes...Even though schnitzel is decidedly a source of pride for Israelis, it reminds me too much of nutritionally devoid Americana-esque food to get me excited. I'm sure it's my own hang-up...who doesn't like fried chicken.
For my main course I had yet another fabulous salad--this one with arugula, toasted almonds, wheat berries, radishes, feta cheese and cranberries. Delightfully prepared and not overdressed.
For dessert the four of us shared cheesecake (the light and fluffy Israeli variety) with orange marmelade on the side and a fresh, creamy mascarpone-like dessert layered with passionfruit and kiwi. They were both winners.
