Not sure when it all began, but I became the annual “Haroset-Maker” at my families Passover table. Haroset (aka Charoset) is a traditional dish to serve for the Jewish holiday of Passover. If you don’t celebrate the holiday, it’s still a great dish to make, eat and serve. I usually make double of this recipe to eat all week because it’s just so so good!
Here is my favorite Passover Haroset (Charoset) recipe – great to serve at a family get-together and perfect side-dish to eat all year round!
Healthy Vanilla-Coconut Haroset
Ingredients
6 apples (mixed – green, red and yellow)
1 cup walnuts
1/4 cup almonds
1/4 cup pistachios
8 dates
1/4 cup coconut, shredded or flakes
2 tbs raw honey
1/2 cup sweet red wine or grape juice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp sea salt
Directions
1. Dice up apples
2. Crush or chop nuts and dates (i place nuts into a plastic bag, zip it up, place a towel over and use a hammer to crush them up!)
3. Mix all ingredients together. Let sit in fridge for at least 30 minutes to let everything soak up and mix together and voila!
Enjoy!
Serves 6-8
Feel free to top onto yogurt for breakfast, eat with matzah as a snack, or on top of coconut milk ice-cream for dessert!
If you’re celebrating, have a wonderful holiday. If you’re eating this as a sweet snack or treat, enjoy!
P.S. If you’re allergic to nuts, other additions that are tasty and crunchy: pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, cacao nibs, coconut flakes.
P.P.S Here’s my recipe for Kale Matzah Pizza– YUM!
