Bursting with color flavor and texture this salad has it all. We had the photo shoot for this on Chanukah and the very next day I had a get-together with friends. I brought this salad along and everyone went nuts over it. The dressing can be made a few days in advance and you can even cut up the veggies the day before if desired. Thanks G.A.

Ingredients

Serves 8

Salad

• 1 bag shredded lettuce
• 1 avocado diced
• 2 tomatoes diced or a handful of cherry tomatoes cut up
• ½ cup sliced green olives
• ¼ cup chopped scallions
• a generous handful sunflower sprouts or sprouts of your choice
• 1 bag (5 oz/142 g) cooked chestnuts

Dressing

• 1 Tbsp lemon juice
• ½ cup light mayonnaise
• 1 clove garlic chopped
• ½ Tbsp sugar or to taste
• ½ tsp chili powder
• ¼ tsp salt

Topping

terra Chips taco chips pita chips wonton strips or even croutons

Preparation

Place all salad ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk together all dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Pour over salad and gently stir together until dressing is evenly distributed. Use topping of your choice. Big chips should be crushed.

NOTE: You can alter the ingredients to suit your palate. For example use black olives instead of green sub chickpeas for the chestnuts etc. Throw pomegranates into a recipe and I’m sold!
