A light and refreshing salad with the perfect combo of veggies and crunch. Goes really well with fish, chicken, or meat. Have all ingredients, including the dressing, prepared before Yom Tov; store in bags or containers, and assemble the salad in a snap. Thanks, Mindy R.

Nut Topping
Start Cooking
Prepare Salad
-
Combine salad ingredients in a large bowl.
-
Mix dressing ingredients in a cruet or container and shake well.
-
Pour over lettuce and veggies immediately before serving.
-
For the nut topping, heat oil over medium heat.
-
Add almonds and honey.
-
Sauté until medium brown, stirring to ensure that the mixture doesn’t burn.
-
When browned, pour onto parchment or wax paper to cool.
-
Break up into clusters when cool and sprinkle over salad.
Note:
The nut topping should be made in advance. It can be stored long term in the freezer, or for two weeks in a plastic container.
Tip:
To make a dietetic version of this salad, do as follows: Instead of 1/4 cup oil use one tablespoon oil and two tablespoons of water. In the topping, use just one to two teaspoons of oil. That’s how I make it, and since the salad is so flavorful, you don’t miss the oil.
