You know those starters that simply make the whole table look beautiful? This one is that starter. It’s festive, easy to prep, and totally delicious too.
We were really smitten by this salad by this salad by Elky Friedman…yes, it’s gorgeous and the perfect starter for Rosh Hashanah. And, like most recipes we try to bring you on Between Carpools, it’s easy. But the best reason why you should make this salad is what happened after these photos were taken…when it was eaten up very quickly and completely for our lunch. -BCP

Where can I buy the mini apple salad dressing holder?
Set your table in lakewood has them. It was featured first in this post https://betweencarpools.com/rosh-hashanah-table-simanim-card/
Hi Elky! Thanks so much for this delicious recipe! What can I use instead of champagne?
Hi!
Honey
Maple Syrup or
Orange juice
will all work
I have the mini dressing holders in silver from Timeless Table in Brooklyn, on east 4th between Ave M and Ave N.
This salad was a perfect starter for our rosh Hashanah seudah. Def going to be making again! Thank you for a great, light salmon recipe!
Is this salad made with spinach or romaine?
Use any greens you like.
Looks good! Would iceberg lettuce work? Also, can I use frozen pomegranate?
