Spinach Salad with Lakeview Orchard Apples, Pears & Fennel

Spinach Salad

As the seasons change, we like adapting our salads with seasonal ingredients. This salad is inspired by the pears and apples readily available in the fall. Crunchy, slightly sweet and the perfect companion for mixed greens.

Serves 8

  • 1 bunch of sorrel or other green of your choice, washed and dried

  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 garlic clove, grated
  • 1/2 tsp raw honey
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup chopped pistachios

I seriously need a recipe for vegan matzo ball soup. I would like to make the balls if possible that float to the top of the soup. If not just some matza balls like Canter in LA makes.
