I can’t believe that I never tried this concept before: chopping a whole lemon into a marinade and including it in the salad. It’s out of this world! The lemon gets soft and sweet, and the combination of vegetables is enhanced by its delightful flavor. This salad keeps well in the fridge for a while — save the recipe for Yom Tov!

Ingredients

Salad

  • 2/3 cup sliced baby carrots

  • 1/2 large red pepper, chopped

  • 5 ounces (140 grams) button mushrooms, chopped

  • 3/4 cup sliced Gefen Baby Corn

  • large handful of snow peas, chopped

  • 1/2 small red onion, chopped

Marinade

  • 1 medium lemon, scrubbed and diced

  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 1/4 cup water

  • 1/4 cup oil

  • dash black pepper

Directions

Prepare the Marinade and Salad

1.

Combine all vegetables in a large mixing bowl.

2.

In a small saucepan, mix together all marinade ingredients and bring to a boil. Simmer for a few minutes and remove from heat.

3.

Pour marinade over vegetables and stir to coat. Refrigerate for a few hours before serving.

You can peel the lemon, and you can pour the marinade over when it is hot or cool, it won’t matter.

Note of caution:Lemon peel can be infested and has to be prepared according to halacha before using

Followed recipe to the letter, but lemon did not become sweet and instead made the salad bitter. Any suggestions?

Lemon peel can definitley be bitter. I would suggest using lemon juice next time if you don’t enjoy the bitter taste and maybe cut the sugar down as well.
