Tips
- Using Worcestershire sauce in a kosher kitchen can be tricky, because it contains anchovies. Check the kosher certification mark. When it is accompanied by a “fish” notation, it means that the level of anchovies is greater than 1.6% of the whole product. When the kosher certification mark stands alone, the percentage of anchovies is less than 1.6%. when using Worcestershire sauce with meat dishes, use a brand with a stand-alone kosher certification.

AHHHHH I am so happy you think so!
The best salad I have ever made!
and for a heartier version add grilled chicken or salmon – now that’s a meal!
This is my favorite salad – and my favorite thing to have for lunch
As a kosher vegan, I have found a number of recipes for vegan Worcestershire sauce. It’s easy to make with kosher ingredients. In a pinch, I’ve also found that
kosher Ponzu sauce makes an adequate substitute for many purposes. It would probably help to add bit of tamarind paste (tamarind is an important ingredient in Worcestershire sauce) or even a drop or two of pomegranate molasses (similar in being tart/sweet).
I’m looking forward to making this salad with my vegan Worcestershire sauce. I love sun dried tomatoes. Thanks for the recipe!
