Bitter Herbs Salad
Bitter herbs – the maror – are part of the Seder ritual, symbolizing the bitterness of slavery experienced by the Jews in Egypt. Endive, romaine and chicory (for which I’ve substituted radicchio) are present on many Sephardic ritual platters, but often they also appear in salads served with the meal. This can be served as a separate course or as a side dish.

Greek Chicken and Tomato Salad
A small amount of seared and roasted chicken breast transforms this tomato-centric Greek salad into something substantial enough to eat as a main dish for lunch or a light supper.

Cucumber and Israeli Couscous Salad
I love this tabbouleh-like mixture because of all the herbs and refreshing flavors, and also because of the nice contrast in textures. Make sure that you cook the couscous until the spheres are tender but not gummy. I have seen package directions that call for too little water; make sure you cook them in twice their volume of water.
Cucumber Salsa Salad
This salad, which resembles gazpacho, is a lovely, light way to begin a Mexican meal. Serve it atop lettuce leaves as a salad, or serve over rice. Alternately, use it as a sauce with fish, chicken or fajitas.
Greek Black-Eyed Peas Salad
Black-eyed peas may not be part of the Greek New Year’s tradition, as they are in the American South, but this recipe still makes a great, light dish.
Light Soup With Peas
Marinated Olives
These are inspired by Patricia Wells’ “Chanteduc Rainbow Olive Collection” in her wonderful book “The Provence Cookbook.” It is best to use olives that have not been pitted.
Egg and Herb Salad
This is not like the egg salad you get at the local deli (hard-cooked eggs, lots of mayonnaise, celery). It is creamy, but the dressing is yogurt-based, and the salad is packed with lots of vivid, fresh herbs.
Country ‘Meatloaf’ With Golden Gravy
Chloe Coscarelli, a vegan chef, offers this hearty vegetarian dish packed with protein.
Whoopie Pies
The whoopie pie from Zingerman’s Bakehouse, in Ann Arbor, Mich., sports a chocolate glaze on its dense chocolate cake and is filled with Swiss buttercream filling.
Gluten-Free Pumpkin Dumplings With Radicchio
Silvana Nardone, the founding editor of the food magazine Every Day With Rachael Ray, developed this recipe for her gluten-intolerant son. It's incredibly easy. Just mix together a can of pumpkin purée, a couple eggs and a cup of gluten-free flour blend. Plop spoonfuls into a pot of boiling water, and in minutes – dumplings. Toss those with a quick sauté of onion, red pepper flakes and radicchio for a filling, healthy dinner. The dumplings are super light and pillowy, but if you prefer a firmer texture, add more gluten-free flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to the pasta dough.
Spring Rolls With Spinach, Mushrooms, Sesame, Rice and Herbs
I steam the spinach just until it collapses for these rolls and combine it with rice instead of the more traditional noodles. You can use brown, regular basmati or jasmine rice
Savory Oatmeal Pan Bread
This savory bread will taste almost like a good stuffing if you use sage in your herbs mix. It is baked in a heavy skillet in the oven, like cornbread.
Rice Salad With Cucumber, Lemon And Scallion
Oatmeal Tabbouleh
This is a good tabbouleh alternative for those of you who can’t tolerate wheat, though you must seek out a brand of steel-cut oats that has been processed in a gluten-free facility if you need to avoid gluten. Unlike traditional tabbouleh, which is a really a parsley salad with a little bit of fine bulgur, this is more of a lemony grain salad with a generous amount of parsley and other herbs. For best results, toss the soaked oats with the dressing and refrigerate overnight.
Focaccia With Tomatoes and Rosemary
This beautiful bread is a great way to use summer tomatoes, but the heat from the oven will draw rich, deep flavor from the less flavorful ones found in winter as well.

Pan-Seared Oatmeal With Warm Fruit Compote and Cider Syrup
There's weekday oatmeal – the sort you make and eat in a rush – and then there's a special occasion oatmeal like this – the kind you save for a lazy weekend morning when the children are watching cartoons and you have the time to make something truly spectacular. First, reduce some apple cider until it's thick and glossy. While that simmers, toss together a quick compote of water, brown sugar, cinnamon and dried fruit. Make a simple pot of steel-cut oatmeal, spread it in a baking dish and chill for about an hour. (If you're a planner, you could do everything up to here the night before.) Finally, cut into triangles and sear in a blazing-hot pan glistening with butter. Serve with compote and syrup and prepare for oohs, ahhs and oh-mys.
