Apple Rice Salad

Cold rice salad with apples, dates, celery and dill and a lemon-honey dressing. You can add nuts as well if you like.

Since lots of Ashkenazi folks have the custom to refrain from nuts during the High Holiday season I have omitted them from this recipe. But year-round consider adding ¼-½ cup chopped walnuts.

Well it was developed for Rosh Hashanah 🙂 but of course the amount of honey can be to taste.

this looks like a delish, creative, colorful & healthful salad. Why, why, why would it require 2 generous tbs. honey? why, why put so much sweetness where it is not needed…..
