7 Super-Simple, Inexpensive Kosher-for-Passover salad spreads (each 4 ingredients or fewer)

One of my "rules" for Passover meals is to keep it simple and get back to basics. Here are seven uncomplicated "recipes" for Pesach-friendly spreads and dips. They each have four ingredients or fewer. Putting these spreads out all at once makes for a great appetizer course. For fun presentation, I like to put them in little glass bowls around the seder plate (with one bowl in the middle). You can serve these with matzoh, KFP matzoh "crackers," or even just plain raw veggies. You will need a KFP food processor to process/puree most of these.

It doesn't get more simple than this.

Avocado and Hearts of Palm: Open a can of hearts of palm (if they are not already sliced, slice them into coins). Mix with a coarsely chopped ripe avocado, and a few squirts of vinegar/olive oil (or bottled Italian) dressing

Olive Tapenade: Open two cans of KFP pitted Israeli olives, drain, process until smooth. Add a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil if you need to.

Roasted red pepper spread: Roast three washed and cored red peppers until just starting to brown. Process until smooth. Add a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil if you need to.

Hungarian egg salad: Coarsely chop six peeled hard-boiled eggs. Saute one diced onion and 6 sliced mushrooms in a spoonful of extra-virgin olive oil until light brown, and add onions, mushrooms and most of the oil to the eggs, and toss. (Optional: season with salt, basil and paprika.)

Basic Babaganoush: Peel, slice and roast one large eggplant until light brown. Puree with a teaspoon of lemon juice until smooth. Add a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil if you need to.

Basic Guacamole: Puree 2 avocados with a tablespoon of lemon juice and two roasted garlic cloves until smooth.

Mushroom "Pate:" Saute 12 sliced mushrooms with a chopped onion in EVOO for about 10 minutes. Puree with 1/2 cup shelled walnuts until smooth.

Bigelow Herbal Tea, Kof-K kosher for Passover, for less than $3 per box of 20 on Amazon

Forget about the traditional Wissotszky Passover tea (or other heimishe brands) that costs upwards of $4.00 per box! If you've been reading Daily Cheapskate for a while, you might remember that Bigelow makes quite a few varieties of KLP (Kosher La'Pesach or Kosher for Passover) teas, under the Kof-K-P hechsher.

There are tons of interesting varieties available and these teas are delicious; I drink their Plantation Mint and Constant Comment flavors year round. But you don't want to order them from the Bigelow site as they are quite a bit more expensive there.

However, Amazon has got over a dozen flavors of KFP (kosher for Passover) Bigelow tea in packages of six that are extremely well-priced. All the Bigelow teas listed here are less than $3 per box and there is even one flavor that is less than $2 per box. That's even less expensive than many brand name herbal teas are during the year! Lock these in and buy now, as the price often shoots up before Passover.

Make sure you doublecheck for the Kof-K-P on the box itself when the tea arrives, which ensures that it is KFP (kosher for Passover).

If you are ordering this tea for Passover via Subscribe & Save, make sure you adjust the date on Amazon so that it arrives on or before 4/29/19. Since these come in packs of 6, you can order a few of these with a friend and split them up, so that you each have a flavor variety (or just keep them from year to year or package them up and use them as hostess gifts).
