Yirbu Salad
The Yirbu Salad
The ultimate Rosh Hashana Side Dish
Really not a salad but I guess because it’s mostly green beans we just call it a salad 😝😂
I serve them hot or room temp and it’s excellent the next day also.
Can make this in the morning and serve up hot – just reheat in the oven or the hot plate.
Why Yirbu?
Because the green beans ( Rubia) reminiscent of the word Yirbu to “increase”. We eat them to symbolize the hope for a fruitful year filled with property and increased merit.
Also the Lentels are an added RH Siman in this salad.
Lentels because of the round shape symbolizing the cycle of life and the crown with which we coronate G‑d every year.
