Pea, Courgette and Caramelised Onion Salad

A seasonal and refreshing accompaniment to meat, chicken, dairy or fish meals, which also gives a nod to the Simanim with the inclusion of gourds in the form of courgette and the sweetness of honey-caramelised onions. A great base for a light lunch with whatever protein you prefer, this vibrant green salad is fantastic for lunchboxes and a delicious choice for a Shabbat, Yom Tov or any day of the week! If you’re making this salad for Rosh Hashanah, add baby leaf spinach or swiss chard for an extra Siman boost.

Sweet Potato and Squash Chips

Root vegetables are a seasonal staple for Sukkot and Rosh Hashana, as well as a Pesach-friendly side and an alternative to white potatoes. These sweet vegetables are also ideal for Rosh Hashana, where we have the custom to eat sweet foods for a “good and sweet new year,” and we eat gourds such as squash as one of the Simanim, representing our desire that, if it be Hashem’s will, that the evil of our verdicts be torn apart, and that our merits be announced before Him.

Zesty Leek and Spinach Tagliatelle with a Garlic and Parmesan Crumb

Throughout the month of Tishrei, when we celebrate the High Holy Days, Sukkot and Simchat Torah, there are dozens of Yom Tov and Shabbat meals. The Torah tells us that it is a mitzvah to make these days of rejoicing and the Prophet Isaiah that we should make Shabbat “a delight”. Talmudic sources draw a connection between food and delight, and implore us to eat the finest meals within our means. Historically, when fish and meat were costly luxuries, these became the standards for a fine meal, reserved for these days of celebration. Many have subsequently assumed the custom of eating a heavily meaty diet on Shabbat and Yom Tov, though there is no absolute obligation to do so, and there are those who feel that in 2023, when meat and fish are abundantly available, and good cheese costs almost as much as a chicken, a delicious pasta dish topped with a fine quality cheese can be every bit as delightful and luxurious! This tasty tagliatelle showcases two of the Simanim at their best, making it a superb choice for a milky (or parev) Rosh Hashanah meal.

Honey and Ginger Salmon with Asian Slaw

Earthy freshness from parsley, vibrancy from mint and refreshing aniseed notes from tarragon, all lifted with the zesty citrus burst of lemon, mean that this flavourful dressing (as the name suggests) works with everything. Almost. You may not want it in your tea, and it might taste a bit funny on chocolate mousse, but it can add vibrancy to meat, fish, vegetables, salads and even – if you’re feeling bold – fruit (as a sweet and tangy salsa or a melon starter)!

Herb and Citrus Everything Dressing

Kosher for Passover Salad Dressings

If vinegar or mustard feature in your go-to salad dressings, then Pesach might pose a challenge for you! Although some wine and cider vinegars are available at Passover, they can be costly, and if you don’t live near a Kosher superstore, they may be hard to procure. But don’t panic – we’ve got you covered. Fresh citrus can provide much-needed acidity, vibrancy and even sweetness at a fraction of the cost. Below are some of our favourite KfP salad dressings.
