It was so fun to share this dish on A Cup of Jo last week and I’m excited to share it with you now! It’s one of the prettiest, simplest salads I know. You wouldn’t necessarily think red onion goes with citrus but it does! They really compliment each other, in my opinion- especially with the herbs and some sea salt. The citrus juices combine with the olive oil naturally on the plate to make a lovely dressing. Enjoy!

Matzo Brei is a traditional Jewish dish using eggs and matzo crackers and is made during Passover, which is this week. It’s often sweet with cinnamon and sugar but I made a savory version with scallions (and some green garlic that came in the CSA box). Love to hear your favorite matzo brie recipes…Happy Passover!

For those of you planning your menu for Passover - or for anyone looking for a quick, tasty appetizer idea- here’s a fun and colorful twist on the traditional Jewish dish, haroset. Haroset is usually a blend of fruit and nuts made during Passover (which starts a week from today). Sometimes chunky, sometimes smooth, it’s often served on matzoh crackers. I replaced the usual apple with beets to rosy things up! It’s a sweet nutty spread, so the radishes on top add a nice bitter balance.
