DELICIOUS AND DIFFERENT SALAD WITH LEMON-MINT DRESSING
Since I needed a recipe with oil as a substantial ingredient, I automatically thought of dressing. Going with my sister Itty's novel idea of lemon-mint flavoring, we played around with this dressing and salad until we were perfectly satisfied with the results. Since this was a competition, the recipe had to be absolutely delicious, and I must say that there was no salad left to serve at the seudah! We tweaked and tasted (and tasted and tasted...) until it was gone! A fantastic combination - give it a try. READ MORE

WINTER CITRUS SALAD WITH HONEY DRESSING
This citrus salad requires only that you overcome the notion that salads must be green; it's a novel and wonderful antidote to sorry-looking lettuce. If you're lucky and can find blood oranges, use them; same with the odd, supremely delicious and usually quite pricey pomelos.

SPINACH SALAD WITH LEMON AND MINT
This salad is a snip, but then one would hardly expect a salad to cause trouble. Using a lemon rather than just lemon juice as an ingredient makes for the most fabulous salad regardless of leaves. And by all means, serve it as a starter rather than a follow-up on the main course. It is fresh, sharp, vegan and delicious.
