As a private chef, I absolutely love the week of Passover. I welcome the dietary restrictions as a creative challenge - one that allows me to eat and serve within the bounds of something really special. This salad is one I make my clients for a sunny lunch, when they are craving crunch, creaminess, and tang. Loaded with a variety of Passover friendly treats and served over a bed of arugula and romaine mix, this salad will satiate any palate! My best advice with this salad is to make little bowls of all the fixings and then when you are ready (with no stress), plate them all together over a bed of salad and serve to your lovers.
