In honor of the Ukrainian people and their courageous stand against Russia, I offer this recipe. It is also in honor of my paternal great-grandmother, Ida Simon, who emigrated from the Ukraine.

Make this delicious salad a few days in advance and serve it as a side dish at Passover (and scoop some with gefilte fish servings).
