1/2 medium red pepper thinly sliced
1/4 cup red cabbage julienned
1/4 cup red onion minced
1 head romaine lettuce =

1 tablespoon sesame seeds =

1/4 cup lemon juice =


Put 2 quarts of water to boil in a medium size pot. Do NOT salt. =


Scrub the potatoes & boil, without peeling, until fork tender. When =

done, remove from potatoes & cool before dicing. Meanwhile, trim the =

green beans & steam for 5-7 minutes. Peel, seed & dice the cucumber. =

In the bottom of a large salad bowl, whisk the garlic into the mustard =

until well combined. Pour in the olive oil a little at a time, =

whisking well after each addition. You will have a smooth, pungent =

sauce.

Add the potatoes, green beans, cucumber, carrot, bell pepper, cabbage =

& onion to the bowl & toss well to coat with the dressing. Wash & dry =

the romaine & tear into bite =

sized pieces. Add to the bowl, along with the herbs & Parmesan. Toss =

seeds & drizzle lemon juice over everything. Toss again & serve.

Notes: This recipe takes well to improvisation. Add whatever you have =

on hand =AD cooked beans, nuts etc. A good suggestion for the fresh =

herbs would be basil, tarragon & chives.

The other salad dish I make very frequently in hot weather is =

Indonesian Chicken Salad w/Peanut Sauce. As a matter of fact, that is =

what we had tonight. Everyone ate heartily, especially a teenage =

guest and my four year old daughter. I'm not posting it here, as I =

have posted it before. But if anyone requests it, I'll be happy to =

send it out again. =


I hope you enjoy these. I'm feeling a little shy about posting =

because of the extraneous marks. I've been swamped with my freelance =

project and therefore behind on my mail - but so far haven't seen any =

explanation for the marks or suggestions for how to keep them out of =

my posts. They are like little cyber-bollweevils!
