Browneyedgirl, as my mom (suzie g) was saying, everyone loves the broccoli salad she makes. It's absolutely delicious and very different. I'll get her to come and post the recipe :)

this is such a tradition for us...easy & healthy..hope you like. The ration of bean to potoae is up to you we do more beans less potatoe but that can easily be adjusted. Furthermore I must apologize as with most family recipes measurements are by eye, feel & taste:D

Green beans, blanched & cooled
Potatoes, boiled & peeled
When all is cool, chop to whatever size suits you & dress generously with olive oil red wine vinegar, salt, pepper & a thinly sliced onion crumbled oregano OR fresh basil.

That's it!! The longer it marinates the better the flavours;)

or coucous with lentils,green olives, fresh mint & a lemon & olive oil dressing?
Let me know if any tweak your interest & I'll post the recipe. All are easy- easy prep- ahead & cream free so no major fear of spoilage in the summer:)

everyone loves a good old fashioned macaroni salad and potato salad. sometimes the standards are best.

i would do both of those and then add a fresher, lighter salad too. there are some really good salads in july's canadian living.
