Purim Feast

Tradition holds that Queen Esther was either vegetarian or vegan.  They didn't exactly have a kosher butcher in Persia back then.  For Purim, it is customary to have a meatless feast.  I couldn't resist putting a cheese dip in there, but that's the only reason it isn't vegan.  Oh, and the cookies.

Even if you're not into vegetarian dinners, this makes a great crudité plate.  It's also a good teatime selection or veggie-heavy lunch.
