Who says salad is lettuce?
From top right to lower left, tomato and mozzarella, jicama salad, curry cous cous salad. The tomato and mozzarella was a basic Italian style salad. We used grape tomatoes and bocconcini with thin strips of basil. Derrick whipped up a vinegarette of balsamic and olive oil. The jicama salad was diced jicama, two kinds of bell peppers, red onions, fresh corn, and black beans. I made a quick dressing of lime juice with chilli style spices and a combination of olive and vegetable oil. The cous cous salad was simply cous cous that had some curry powder added to the water used to re-hydrate it. After it cooled a bit, I added pecans, dried cranberries, red onions, and a quick toss of lemon juice and olive oil. I also mixed in some bitter salad greens to give things a bit of a kick. Unseen is the potato salad that I made with lots of hard cooked eggs and mustard in the dressing (I don’t like bland potato salad dressing). At the top of the photo you can just see that yes, I in fact did have one
