With summer approaching, I have below a selection of salad recipes for you to try over the next few months.

String Bean and Potato Salad

Ingredients:

5 medium-size potatoes
16 oz. canned French Style Green Beans or fresh green beans
2 garlic cloves (peeled and cut into quarters)
olive oil to taste
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp red vinegar (optional)
chopped mint leaves (optional)

Method:

Peel and cut up potatoes into bite-size pieces -- not too small. Boil until soft and drain. If using fresh green beans, cut off the tips and cook in a little salt water with the two garlic cloves until well done. If using canned green beans, empty cans into a little salt water with the two garlic cloves and heat. Add cooked potatoes to beans and cook together for a few more minutes. Drain well and put in a bowl. Pour on as much olive oil as desired, salt and pepper, and perhaps, a little vinegar and mint.

Serve warm or cool.
Serves: 6 Preparation time: 30 minutes

Waldorf Salad Karen's Way

1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup dried cranberries
3 scoops/to taste of a binding ingredient
(mayo, soy yoghurt...)

Method:

Cut apples, place in large bowl, squeeze lemon over all pieces. Mix to thoroughly coat. (Keeps apples from going brown). Add celery, nuts, dried fruits. These are all to taste. Mix well. Add binding ingredient, again to taste. Mix well. Refrigerate. Best after being in a nice cold fridge for a few hours. Eat. Yum!
