Look on the web to see if your area has had any problems with locally

grown produce. If not, buy it from a local farm stand and ASK where

it was grown to make sure it was grown in the area.

Unfortunately it is a little hard to cook a salad.

Debbie, you've inspired me to find just that!!

MIXED COOKED VEGETABLE SALAD WITH ITALIAN SALAD DRESSING

Ingredients

1 small cauliflower, cooked

1 bunch broccoli, cooked

1 cup string beans, cooked

1 cup sliced carrots, cooked

1 cup lima beans, cooked

1 jar tiny whole eggplants

1 package frozen artichoke hearts

1 cup small whole cherry tomatoes

1 canned pimiento, cut into strips

Italian salad dressing with herbs

parsley

 

Directions

Cut off leaves and stem from cauliflower. Cook in water

with 2 tablespoons lemon juice until nearly tender. Cool.

Separate flowerettes. Cut off tough stems from broccoli. Cook

all vegetables separately except the tiny eggplants, which are

already prepared. When the vegetables are nearly tender, dram

well. Chill vegetables. When ready to serve place all of the

vegetables in groups on a very large platter. Top with pimiento

strips. Pour salad dressing over all. Garnish with parsley.

 

SUGGESTION: Tiny whole eggplants may be purchased in Italian

specialty grocery stores. They are already cooked and seasoned

and make a delicious addition to the salad. All the vegetables should

be cooked al dente.
