New Salad Combos

[chinadoll]

So sorry about your sister Sunny.

Here it is too hot for many of my herbs! I will start planting some at the end of this month.

For salads, I like to roast eggplant and peppers and place them with some softened garlic right into my olive oil. I only do a small batch because it doesnt keep well, but it is wonderful over salads with the roasted flavor in it. And DH loves to dip his bread in it too.

Sorry to hear about your sister.

I was able to grow a fall crop of string beans, so I've been harvesting and eating them. I also made a quick pickle of them: blanched them, stuffed them into a jar with slices of garlic, and a few fronds of dill, then poured over a boiling mixture of water, salt and vinegar. They're nice in chopped into egg/chicken/tuna salad and mixed into a green bean salad with plain blanched green beans, chopped onion and vinaigrette.
