I like to balance the meat and dairy meals on yomtov. Neither DH nor I care for all 4 meals to be dairy. The first lunch will most likely be dairy so I am thinking to make a meat meal for dinner that night. What can I make that is not too heavy?

We love skirt steak salad for occasions such as these.

Maybe a stir fry or a chicken salad...

I'd choose a stir fry or fajitas.

Deli salad and/or salmon. Both are light.

Chicken panzanella salad
Asian chicken soup - it's like a meal in a bowl, with pieces of chicken, noodles, and vegetables.

Sooooo yummy and easy! Dh said it was ready to go into a restaurant menu. I didnt use flanken though, too chewy.

I decided I'm making tortillas. Just fry up some minced meat and onions and lots of different veggies in bowls, a few different sauces and everyone can make their own.

It's expensive, but veal is so good and really light.
