MIL's Potato Salad:

Combine:
1 dozen eggs hard boiled, peeled and chopped into small to medium pieces
4-5 large potatoes boiled to tenderness, but not mushy, chopped into
small to medium sized pieces.
1 small white onion (or 1/2 large one) minced
chopped dill pickle to taste

Blend:
about 2/3 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
1 teaspoon dill pickle juice
paprika to taste

Mix the two together and chill.
All measurements are approximate as I never measure the stuff out and
neither does MIL.

Salads. What kinds of salads do you like? I posted a potato salad to
her other drivel, so what other kinds of salads do you like and have
recipes for?

Man I love trolls, I get the greatest recipes because of them

Family Favorites.

Grandma's Cucumber Salad
Slice cucumbers thinly. (Peel optional)
Slice about as much white or sweet or red onion thinly.
Add salt and maybe some dill weed and toss.
After half an hour or so when the cucumbers and onions wilt, add sour cream,
stir and chill.

Vicki's Tomatoes

Peel some very ripe small tomatoes (20 seconds in boiling water will loosen
the skins)
Put in a bowl or big ziplock bag with Italian dressing and extra garlic and
salt and pepper. Maybe add some olive oil and wine. Let marinate in the
refrigerator for a day. Serve cold. We usually make this in September
when the homegrown tomatoes start to get smaller and more plentiful


Italian Salad

Cut cherry tomatoes in half or just cut slits in grape tomatoes. Cut chunks
of fresh mozzarella and cucumber or zucchini about the same size. Add a can
of small pitted black olives. Red or white onion if you like onion. Add
garlic, salt, Italian herbs, pepper, olive oil and vinegar. Chill for a few
hours or overnight.

Salsa.

Chop tomatoes, onion, and green or yellow pepper. Put a seeded jalapeno
pepper and a tomato in the blender and blend thoroughly. Add to chopped
veggies. Add salt, maybe garlic powder and hot sauce.

Add more tomatoes to make it milder, more jalapeno to make it hotter.

Serve with fresh fried tortilla chips.

YUM!!! These all look good. I'll have to try them out.

Okay, here are a couple - one which can double as a dessert, and the other
which is heartier.

Cranberry Salad

1 lb. fresh cranberries
1 cup sugar
1 #2 can crushed pineapple
12 oz. miniature marshmallows
1 pint cream, whipped or one pint Cool Whip

Grind cranberries in food grinder or blender. They are easier to grind when
frozen. Blend ground cranberries with sugar and let stand overnight. Drain
pineapple and combine with miniature marshmallows. Let stand overnight.

Combine the two mixtures and fold in whipped cream or Cool Whip. Spoon
final mixture into jello molds, cupcake tins, baking tins or other
unmoldable containers and freeze.

Unmold and let stand 15-20 minutes before serving.

Note: This makes lots. I usually get two ring molds and one small mold out
of it. I often take this to a potluck. If I'm doing that, I unmold it,
wash the mold, line it with plastic wrap and then put the salad back into
the mold. It's easier to transport this way than it would be on a plate,
and when you get to your destination, you just dump it out and peel off the
plastic wrap. If you're going far, and if possible, put it in a freezer for
a few minutes before dumping it out.

Mexican Salad

1 med. can vegetarian beans in tomato sauce (meatless baked beans)
Fresh tomatoes, cut in small pieces
Cheddar cheese, cubed
Green onions, chopped
Salad dressing
Lettuce, shredded or chopped for salad
Tortilla chips

Marinate first four ingredients in the salad dressing of your choice for
several hours. The original recipe suggested Catalina or Creamy Thousand
Island. I like to use French dressing (the creamy orange kind). At the
last minute add lettuce and tortilla chips.

I sometimes brown some hamburger in a skillet, drain it well and add it to
the salad. It can be used as a main course.

Tonight it's DH's turn to cook. I'm trying a variant of the low GI
diet that includes minimising the carbs I eat after 5pm. This
initially seemed like a huge challenge - our staples for evening meals
are pasta-with-something, noodles-with-something, or
rice-with-something.

Tonight DH outdid himself. Diets like this I can live with!

We are having mussels done Brittany (French) style - steamed fresh
mussels (Australian black-lipped mussels, not NZ green-lipped mussels)
with white wine, a little cream, a touch of curry paste and loads of
parsley. Normally the delicious sauce is mopped up with crusty white
bread, but since that is verboten to me, DH is steaming loads of
broccoli and fennel bulb and I'll mop up the sauce with that. The
slightly creamy sauce should go really well with the vegetables.

YUM!

And a crisp, fresh "Pink Lady" apple for afters if I feel like it
(moderate consumption of fruit is allowed).

Tish - dang, it's only 5:30pm and I'm getting hungry just thinking
about dinner!

Specially when it is at 4 am in the morning and there is nothing open to go
eat at except waffle house( always in the mood for scattered smothered
covered and chunked but gets old after a while) or Denny's ( not a chance
there )
