Way awesome, this is my go to oil especially for frying. With its incredibly high smoke point of 490', your latkes, blintzes, sufganiyot, chicken, and stir-frys will be amazing. An all purpose oil with many health benefits, you can purchase it online and have it shipped to your door for free! Just use coupon code "KOSHER". Whoo-hoo!
At first glance, this salad seems like a lot of work. Maybe because the first time I made it was for a couple of hundred people. Salads always take long for that many people. At any rate, start the lentils on the stove, roast the peppers in the oven and then move on to the remaining ingredients and dressing. This past summer, I loved using the Heirloom Cherry tomatoes in everything, including this salad. Their rustic tones of golden yellow, rusty red and greens added more complex coloring. I love the way it looks and love the tang of the lemon juice based dressing. I also enjoy that the salad is made of lentils. A nice change of pace.
