| BASIC SALAD BUILDERS |
| Naturally when you see salad, we all envision lettuce. There are so many kinds available now, why limit yourself to the same ones. Take your favorite salad and use a different type of salad green to create a new taste. Or blend a mixture of several for a garden medly. Different types of dressings too will give a whole new outlook to an old favorite. Toss in a few fresh sliced mushroom, or garnish with chopped nuts. Both are highly nutritioal too.I am including a few simple, and a few not so simple dressings that you can make for that whole new outlook. (try some of them on hot vegetables too. No this is not all the salad recipes but wanted to mention this before I forgot to put it in. Keep following those links. |

| HAM and POTATO SALAD |

Cook the potatoes by boiling or steaming,dice and then mix with the ham, peas, mushrooms and mayonnaise while warm. Allow to cool. Serve on a bed of lettuce with sliced tomatoes. This makes a delicious hot salad if crisply fried bacon or boiled ham is used instead of cold ham. Make sure the peas and mushrooms are hot. |
