Glad I stopped back in! These look interesting. I made a variation of Thai beef salad yesterday with boston lettuce, leftover steak sliced in matchsticks, cucumber, red onion ( a wee bit) chili, fish sauce, lime juice and a dash of Splenda. Spicy hot and a real wake up to the taste buds. Mmmm.

Re: New Salad Combos

My herbs are dying due to the colder weather. But while they lasted I had a blast adding them to all sorts of veggie dishes, etc. I was able to dry alot of them and I also made herb vinegars (tarragon vinegar, an "everything" vinegar with a bit of everything in it, etc.) so that should last over the winter.

Re: New Salad Combos

What a summer it has been! When my herbs and salad greens really started producing, my sister in Tennessee was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and died all within six weeks. With going back and forth to Tennessee and then to Ohio where she was buried, I missed most everything. The rest of my time has been spent buying a house and canning all the green beans and bumper crop of tomatoes I had this year. Summer is gone and I got little done.

I do have some nice spinach coming on.

Re: New Salad Combos

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.

Re: New Salad Combos

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.
