I need to make a lettuce salad for our Chanuka party tommorow night. I need an interesting, but not too complicated one. Any ideas, please?

nish nosh salad
Salad:
Lettuce
Cabbage
Scallions (green onions)
cherry tomatoes
sour cream and onion flavored nishnashim crackers

Dressing:
5 cloves of garlic, crushed (use less if they're big)
1 cup mayo
2 Tbsp dijon mustard (I have used ground mustard when I was out of dijon)

salt and pepper

The dressing makes enough for a very large salad or 2 smaller ones. Leftover dressing can be used on plain cabbage for an easy salad.

You sure are helpful! These look really nice. I don't have dijon or ground mustard. Can I use yellow or deli mustard instead? Thanks so much!

Thanks. these all sound great! I can't do a lox salad, but I think I will try one of the others. I just have to decide which one!
