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 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.
Eating more plant-based protein can help you manage your heart health. Tofu is a blank slate waiting to be flavored with spices and sauces like the Thai sauce in this recipe.
