This salad really takes the cake! (Can you believe I’m using cake to describe a salad?!) Last Shavuos, when I was searching for the perfect salad to add to my milchig menu, I put out calls to my good friends. This was just what I was looking for. Add it to your Shavuos, upsherin, bas mitzvah, or Chanukah party menu. Everyone will dig in. Thank you, Chani H. and Kiki!
In a large salad bowl, combine lettuce, hearts of palm, tomatoes, and red onion.
In a tall container, combine the dressing ingredients. Blend using an immersion blender. Alternatively, you can use a food processor or blender. Toss salad with dressing.
Top with Whole Wheat Everything Croutons (directions below).
You’ll find “everything spice” in the baking aisle. It’s a combination of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, onion, garlic, and salt.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove the crusts of the bread and slice into cubes.
Dip each piece into the egg white and then into the everything mixture.
Place in a baking pan and bake uncovered for 10 minutes, until crisp.
