This salad is something different and classy — and easy enough for weekdays but nice enough for Shabbos. Serve it alongside your favorite grilled chicken or fish.

 

Ingredients

Salad

  • 1–2 small boxes fresh mushrooms

  • 1 bag cut-up white cabbage

  • handful cherry tomatoes, halved

Dressing

  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

  • 1/2 tablespoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons oil

  • 4 tablespoons water

Topping

  • croutons

  • crushed roasted almonds or pecans

Directions

Make the Salad

1.

Slice mushrooms by hand, not too thinly, and sauté in a little olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. This can be done one day in advance, and mushrooms should be refrigerated until use.

2.

Mix all dressing ingredients together in a container and shake well (this can be made a few days in advance).

3.

To assemble: Place cabbage and tomatoes in a large bowl. Arrange sautéed mushrooms on top. Pour dressing over salad or serve on the side. Top with croutons or nuts.  

Tips:

This salad works beautifully with lettuce as well (and in a pinch, purple cabbage). For a more robust flavor, use part fresh mushrooms and part portobello mushrooms (see photo).  

Notes:

The original recipe called for 3/4 cup oil (!!!) and 1/2 cup sugar. The dressing is so flavorful, I felt it was completely unnecessary to drown the salad in so much fat and make it overly sweet. Trust me — it works perfectly as stated above. Also, if you like it a little less piquant, put in six tablespoons vinegar.
