Cole Slaw (Pareve)
Cole Slaw is an economical, healthy and tasty salad. We goes well with meat meals, especially summer barbecues. My Israeli friend Ofira contributed this easy and lite Cole Slaw recipe.
2-Minute Cole Slaw (Pareve)
I like to be able to quickly make a variety of salads, especially in the summer. They add a colorful, healthy and light touch to everyday and Sabbath meals. Simply buy a package of ready-cut vegies, combine a few ingredients for the dressing, and stir. In addition to being a quick-fix, I like this 2-Minute Cole Slaw recipe because it is not too heavy and saucy.
Russian Potato Salad (Parve)
This Russian Potato Salad is hearty and delicious. The peas and carrots add color and flavor that set this salad apart from other potato salads. For a pleasing summer meal, serve this potato salad with fried chicken.
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.
Cold Broccoli Sesame Salad (Parve)
For a fresh way to serve broccoli, try this Cold Broccoli Sesame Salad. You can easily prepare it in just minutes. And it is so tasty that even the kids will eat it. Take this green salad along on a picnic, serve it with fish for a lite dinner, or enjoy it as a healthy side dish for Sabbath lunch.
Kohlrabi Salad (parve)
Next time you feel like some fresh, raw vegetables, try this Kohlrabi Salad. Kohlrabi tastes a bit like a mild, sweet broccoli stem. Just slice it up, add fresh lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Delicious, healthy and easy.
Crunchy Cabbage Salad (Pareve)
Crunchy Cabbage Salad is a great way to serve cabbage and add another fresh vegetable dish to a meal. While it looks and tastes like a lot of work, it is actually very easy to assemble.
Tuna Salad (Parve)
My sister-in-law, with her six children and job as a Realtor, doesn't have much time to cook. But she is neighborhood-renown for her egg salad and tuna salad. Her fridge is always stocked with these salads, so her kids can easily make themselves sandwiches. Her tuna salad recipe proves, once again, that sometimes simple is best.
Ceasar Salad (Dairy)
Friends invited us to Shabbat lunch and asked us to bring salad. Since the lunch menu was dairy and my friends appreciate lite, healthy food, I brought this dairy Ceasar Salad. This simple salad was so delicious that even the children asked for more. This recipe is based closely on the low carb, low fat Ceasar Salad with Croutons in Nechama Cohen's EnLITEned Kosher Cooking cookbook.

This Spinach Strawberry Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing is a refreshing summer salad. For a more festive salad, add either sliced purple onion or slivered almonds.
Lettuce, Mango and Sunflower Seed Salad (Parve)
My sister contributed this summer salad recipe. Of course I had to give her a few mangoes from our mango tree to get it out of her, but I think the trade was good for me and you. As the summer winds down, enjoy this Lettuce, Mango and Sunflower Seed Salad recipe.
Asian Tuna or Chicken Salad (Parve or Meat)

Easy Three Bean Salad (Parve)
This Three Bean Salad is the perfect parve picnic salad. It is quick and easy to prepare. It travels well. And it is so tasty that even the kids will ask for more.
Edamame Tomato Salad (Parve)
Who doesn't love edamame? These soybeans are delicious and nutritious. Edamame, soybeans that are harvested while still green and not yet hardened, have a sweet, nutty flavor. They are low in fat and high in protein, vitamins A and B, and calcium. While these beans can consumed as a snack, they can also be easily incorporated into salad recipes.
Couscous Salad with Pine Nuts (Parve)

I made this Cauliflower Broccoli Salad for our Israeli Independence Day picnic. The carrots and red onion add color, and the sunflower seeds and cashews add flavor. The simple dressing consists of mayonnaise, red wine vinegar and brown sugar. Be sure to chop the vegetables into small pieces. This salad makes a refreshing and lite accompaniment to grilled meat.
Sweet and Sour Lettuce Salad (Parve)
My Hungarian father makes this special Sweet and Sour Lettuce Salad, and my pickle-loving daughter gobbles it up. It is gentler than sauerkraut, but also dresses up meat sandwiches or makes a flavorful side dish.
Pomegranate Apple Salad (Parve)
For lunch on the second day of Rosh Hashanah, after everyone feels a bit heavy after too many holiday meals, I like to serve this fresh and light Pomegranate Apple Salad. It complements the spirit of the holiday by using the two fruits upon which blessings have been made.
Classic Israeli Salad (Pareve)
Israeli salad, finely diced tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers topped with olive oil, lemon juice and salt, is light, healthy and fresh tasting.
Festive Israeli Salad (Pareve)
