It was my turn to “host” for the month. So that meant I got to choose the theme. Since September celebrates Rosh Hashanah, I decided on honey as an ingredient.
I went for a salad that was inspired by autumn. For me, that meant, whole grains, fruits and nuts. And of course a siple homemade vinaigrette made with honey.
The salad is very filling but still great alongside a half sandwich or perhaps a bowl of French onion soup. Whatever you decide to have with it, I hope you enjoy.
