The Sabich Salad (or sandwich, depending on how you serve it) is one of my favorites. And there’s lots of reasons why.
This recipe is from my new book, Secrets of Skinny Cooking, written with Shani Taub C.N. C.D.C. and styled and photographed by Esti Photography. It’s available now on Amazon and at your local Judaica store!
This recipe is one of my favorites because it’s unexpected and you can enjoy it a couple of different ways, in a salad or as a sandwich (that’s why it’s in the “Friendly Carbs” chapter).
Here’s the wrap version. Simply omit the potato and pile up all the ingredients inside your sandwich instead.
Make a big batch of the tahini-style dressing! If you love techinah, it’s a great low-cal alternative. Use it as a dip, or over fish, or on any salad where you want some Middle Eastern flavor.
Double the recipe and this is it’s a huge, gorgeous, super-filling salad that’s worthy for company. When I’m entertaining, I use pretty mini potatoes instead of the larger Yukon Golds. Just boil them under fork tender and toss them in the salad. This is a great option if you want a different, exciting salad that isn’t lettuce based.
- 1 small eggplant, sliced into half-moons
- ½ lb Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 hard-boiled eggs, halved vertically, whites only
- 1 pickle, sliced
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved OR 1 diced tomato
- ½ cucumber or English cucumber
- ½ red onion, diced
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ cup fresh parsley leaves
- 1 tsp salt
- pinch coarse black pepper
- 2 Tbsp light mayonnaise
- 1½ tsp tahini paste
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1½ Tbsp water
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 tsp fresh minced parsley leaves
- ½ tsp salt
- pinch cumin
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place eggplant in a colander; sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 20 minutes over a bowl or in the sink. Rinse; dry on paper towels. Place eggplant on prepared baking sheet; bake for 20 minutes.
- Add potato to a pot; cover with water. Bring to a boil; cook for 30 minutes, until tender. Let cool; slice or dice potatoes.
- Prepare the Israeli salad: In a bowl, combine tomatoes, cucumber, onion, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Prepare the Tahini-Style Dressing. Combine all ingredients.
- Toss potatoes with egg white halves, eggplant pickles, Israeli salad, and Tahini-Style Dressing.

I love the two ingredient dinners they’re great for those busy days when I just have a few moments to throw dinner together
Hi. I didn’t grow up Jewish but am Jewish, if that makes sense. ? I love this site because I’m learning so much of my heritage. In a very pleasant way, I feel very connected to this community. Thank you for making me feel like one of you guys. I would like to see more traditional recipes. I’m an Odessan that has kept many traditions from my grandmothers and mother. I see that a lot of the old recipes, traditional, are being lost as each generation leaves. I want to keep the traditional recipes that our grandmothers used to in their homes. Recipes that brought the whole family together to the table. Recipes that were enjoyed together. I want to keep our heritage alive and enjoyed. ?
I love the downloadable art – especially the ones that are adult friendly. It helps me get in the spirit of the chag.
My favorite thing is about in between carpools are the random tips from one busy mom to another. Wardrobe tips, packing away chagim, and sale tips. That’s what Jewish women are made of – looking out for one another!
Loving this app! I’ve used so many ideas already.. from the garlic flavored challah shaped as a crown for Purim, to the Purim Seuda table decor, to recipes and organizing drawers and making my girls their own bows/headbands and more!! Thank you!!

by far- the best thing on betweencarpools is Victoria Dwek’s bedtime chart!!! It’s amazing that I don’t have to say ANYTHING, everything gets done by itself!! bedtime, BATHTIME (which is a major hassle in this home, I mean, don’t they get the fact that bathing is a fact of life ? get used to it 🙂 Snacks prepared and none of the “where are my shoes, the bus is here!!!” shouts. Next, I really want to talk about dinnertime in the morning, to avoid the ‘what’s for supper?!” instead of “hello!” but first, I need to have the time to discuss that in the morning! And one more thing, loving Fabulouso, looooove the smell!!! Thanks for a fantastic website!!!

I have been dieting for 40 years plus. Boruch Hashem, at my age and after 7 children I still weigh 150 lbs. For years and years I was hoping for a cookbook (and actually a restaurant or café also) that is geared for the health conscious crowd, and not just heavy fatty foods with a list of ingredients that make me dizzy!
I look forward to buying this cookbook soon (if I don’t win!).
