How I wish I could see Mother once again. Guess I'll just have to wait.

 

Anyway, this is a kind of odd salad Carl and I like.

 

Kidney Bean Salad

Can red kidney beans, drained

1 small stalk celery, minced finely

1 small onion, minced finely (or use a little onion powder or dehydrated

onion)

1/4 cup sweet pickle relish (more or less - we like more)

2 hard boiled eggs, diced or grated

1/2 red, yellow or orange sweet pepper, diced finely)

Thousand Island Salad Dressing served on side

Mixed salad greens

Garnishes - (one, all or none), baby tomatoes, sunflower seed kernels,

sprouts, Fried onion rings (the canned things), finely minced jalapeno peppers

(sparingly!), thinly sliced cucumber.

 

Mix beans, celery, onion, pickle relish, diced sweet peppers, chopped egg

together and let chill several hours or overnight. of salad on top, topping with

your choices of garnishes.

 

To plate up, I put a bed of mixed salad greens (baby greens from Paul Newman -

awesome) on the plate, then a couple scoops of the bean mixture on top. Put

sliced cucumber around bean mixture. Top with your choice of garnishes. Serve

Thousand Island dressing in gravy boat or just pass the bottle.

 

Carl and I love this salad which pretty much has it all - protein, fiber,

veggies - serve with some fruit ambrosia and corn bread and you've got a good

dinner without much work.
