Spinach salad with sliced apples and dates, topped with crused matzo

Apple and Date Salad

This salad is inspired by Charoset (ka-ROW-set), a chopped apple and walnut dish that is traditionally served during Passover Seder. You can substitute the walnuts for pistachios or pecans, or make it nut-free. The crushed matzo adds a nice crunch, but if you don’t have it, and aren’t making this dish kosher for Passover, you can add croutons or lightly crushed crackers.

Crispy Honey Mustard Split Green Peas

Crispy split peas are a delicious addition to salads, grain bowls, and even plain oatmeal! A good source of iron and fiber, split peas are also packed with protein.

Red Cabbage, Walnut, and Orange Slaw

Cabbage and orange are in season through the winter and this crunchy salad is a snap to pull together. The longer you allow it to rest, the softer the cabbage will be.

Roasted Cauliflower and Sweet Onion Kugel

Kugel (pronounced KOO-gul) is a sweet or savory casserole that uses egg noodles, potatoes, or matzo meal to bind it together. This recipe uses matzo meal, a standard ingredient in recipes for Passover.
