Lenten dishes: what are they like? Is it really worth stocking up on recipes for delicious Lenten dishes, if Lent is a time to limit bodily pleasures in order to grow spiritually? There are times in the church year when the Orthodox are permitted to cook and eat only Lenten food. Of course, fasting imposes certain restrictions. But the Church doesn't forbid trying to add variety to the Lenten menu with simple recipes for tasty Lenten dishes. Lenten dishes are usually very light and easy to make, which helps you think less about the physical and more about the spiritual during the fast. Many secular establishments, cafés, and restaurants introduce a special Lenten menu during the fasting period, but vegetable cutlets, dishes from all kinds of vegetables, and Lenten borscht can be made at home. What's more, the food of the Lenten table is generally considered diet fare. And for many, these recipes can be useful outside of Lent too. Made from readily available ingredients, they make an excellent side dish and add variety to your usual menu. I hope you enjoy the recipe for this colorful Lenten salad.
