Awesome Rosh HaShana Leftover Lunch!! – Baked Salmon Salad

You could make this amazing salad from scratch, but it’s so much easier using leftovers from a Rosh HaShana festive meal.

On the night of Rosh HaShana we have a custom of partaking of foods at the beginning of the meal that represent significant postive omens for the upcoming year.

In addition to dipping apple slices in honey representing a sweet new year, other foods included in this special platter are carrots, leeks, pomegranates and fish among others.

Spicey Moroccan Carrots

In most homes, there is usually more of these foods prepared than are required because each participant only takes a taste of each food.

When I opened the fridge to make lunch two days after Rosh HaShana I discovered containers filled with pomegranate seeds, moroccan carrots, cooked leeks and delicious looking baked salmon.

I prepared a bed of romaine lettuce then cut the salmon into bit-sized cubes and placed it on top of the lettuce.

Next came a sliced red-pepper (because I like them) and half a cubed tomato.

Then I topped it off with the carrots, leeks and pomegranate seeds.

Luckily I found some caesar dressing in the fridge and tossed it all together. Enjoy!

No need to tell you that the carrots, leeks, salmon and caesar dressing were all prepared with Galilee Green Olive Oil!
