What is the name of the middle eastern salad containing Tomato and Cucumber?
Not sure if there is an proper name, had it in Israel but have seen it (or similar variations) in Moroccan restaurants (in the US). Comprised of primarily diced cucumbers and tomatoes, that have been seasoned.

Not too surprisingly given where you found it, it's called an Israeli Salad in most parts of the world.
In Israel, it's just called a chopped salad or (according to the wiki article - I never personally encountered this) an Arab salad.
