Fried Eggplant and Red Pepper Salad (Parve)
This Fried Eggplant and Red Pepper Salad is delicious. The down side is that the recipe requires frying, which increase prep time and fat content.

Lettuce Salad with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Pecans (Parve or Dairy)
This Lettuce Salad with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Pecans is an attempt to recreate a salad served at the Bonafey Restaurant in Kfar Rut, Israel. The combination of the flavorful dressing with the lettuce, pecans and sun-dried tomatoes is delicious. The restaurant's salad includes feta cheese, but I don't think the cheese is an essential ingredient.

Lettuce Salad with Fruit and Nuts (Parve)
I serve variations of this lettuce salad with fruit and nuts throughout the year. I serve it with pomegranate seeds in the fall, mangoes or nectarines in the summer, kiwis or Clementine in the winter, and dried cranberries or raisins in the spring. While I almost always put bell peppers in the salad, adding toasted pine nuts is optional.
