It’s easier than you think to create this gorgeous avocado platter to bring to the table. Serve it for Seudah Shelishit! A couple of years ago, I shared with you the backstory of this Avocado Toast Bar. There was one Shabbat when I was inspired to make Seudah Shelishit something enjoyable and beautiful–there should be…

Sushi Cups
The absolute easiest way to serve sushi – and no one is tired of them yet. When I first featured this recipe years ago, sushi was a new thing. I remember serving it at an upsherin and it was so “new” and “cool.” But, guess what? Sushi’s popularity never went away. And these little Sushi…
Guacamole with Tri-Color Chips
It’s that simple, fresh thing that everyone loves. Sometimes, we rack our brains to think of something new and interesting to serve over Yom Tov. But you know what? Sometimes you don’t even need to think so hard. Sometimes, it’s the things that are the simplest–the ones that are so obvious you don’t even think…
Japanese Sweet Potato & Feta Salad
It’s simple, but all you need are these sweet potatoes as the star. I really, really enjoy Japanese sweet potatoes, more than regular potatoes, sweet potatoes, or any other type. True, they’re not in every grocery, but they’re available in enough places (I can think of three places that I often shop at that carry…
Easy Summer Corn and Feta Salad
Enjoy it for Shavuos and then again and again all summer long. This fresh and bright salad will become a shalosh seudos favorite! We love corn on the cob in my house. And sometimes we buy too much of it. One Friday last summer we had a few extra ears that had to be cooked…
Basics: Israeli Salad
Plus! How to keep it fresh and crunchy (even when prepping on Thursday and serving on Shabbos). There are few things we never get tired of. Fresh bread, perfect spring weather, good coffee. Those are a few for me. Also, Israeli salad. Not sure what it is. Maybe the simplicity of its fresh, genuine ingredients…
Lemony Jalapeños
It’s not your typical dip–whether or not you like spicy things, you’ll love these jalapeños and lemon on your fish, challah, or sourdough. So, this was totally unexpected. This recipe came from my friend Malky Blum–and I don’t know if you so much call it a recipe, or just an amazing combination… so amazing, that…
Rainbow Quinoa Salad
This is my go to salad to send over to anyone hosting – as it’s so pretty and can easily be prepared in advance. Full of bright and nourishing veggies, this salad is bursting with a rainbow of colors – it makes the perfect edible centerpiece for Shalosh Seudos! I love that it can be…
Frozen 9×13 Chocolate Bar Ice Cream
It’s sweet, it’s salty, and it’s the perfect ice cream treat to pull out for shalosh seudos (feeds a crowd!). I was in the supermarket one Friday afternoon – I had already gotten everything I needed. Then, just as my cart rounded the corner of the freezer aisle, something behind one of the doors caught…
The Perfect Shalosh Seudos: An Avocado Toast Bar
Do you want a special meal without extra advance prep? Serve delicious avocado toast for seudah shelishit. Back in the wintertime, when Shabbat was short and it was very, very hard to get down 2 ounces of bread come seudah shelishit time, I shared with my Whisk readers that I realized something had to change….
