This sweet, tangy and crunchy health salad (aka "vitamin salad", or "Claremont salad" — named for the famed Claremont deli in Verona, NJ), is named as such because it lacks creamy mayonnaise or sour cream commonly found in most Russian and Eastern European salads, creating a lighter, slaw-like dish. The crunchy staple is beloved in New York City Jewish delis, and makes a perfect appetizer for Hanukkah.
