In reviewing Susie Fishbein's cookbooks, I have permission to put three recipes from each book online. It is never an easy task to choose three from the many gems Fishbein includes in her books. I chose this recipe - Creamy Garlic Salad from Kosher by Design: Lightens Up - because I could see myself making this delicious, healthy, parve lettuce salad often throughout the year.
