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!
2 (8-ounce) bags or 2 heads Romaine lettuce
14 ounces Gefen Hearts of Palm, sliced
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
homemade whole wheat everything croutons (see below)
1/3 cup Bartenura Olive Oil
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup Gefen Vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar
2 garlic cloves, crushed or 2 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic
2/3 cup shredded light Muenster cheese
4 tablespoons cottage cheese
5 slices whole wheat bread, or 2 whole wheat rolls
1 egg white
1/4 cup everything spice mix, such as Pereg
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).
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.
You’ll find “everything spice” in the baking aisle. It’s a combination of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, onion, garlic, and salt.
