½ cup spinach, stems removed and chopped
½ cup red cabbage, chopped
½ cup cucumbers, peeled and sliced
½ cup celery, sliced
½ cup mushrooms, sliced
¼ cup carrot shreds (I use jicama!)

Method

Toss everything together. The book suggests a poppyseed dressing, but I have not found one that was low-carb/low-sugar, so I usually use a good Italian and it’s fine.

    Ingredients:

    2 pounds russet potatoes
    1 cup mayonnaise
    4 teaspoons sweet pickle relish
    4 teaspoons sugar
    2 teaspoons minced white onion
    2 teaspoons prepared mustard
    1 teaspoon vinegar
    1 teaspoon minced celery
    1 teaspoon diced pimentos
    1/2 teaspoon shredded carrot
    1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    dash salt

    Method

    Lightly peel the potatoes and cut into bite sized pieces. Place in a
    pot of salted water and boil the potatoes for 5 to 10 minutes till fork
    tender, depending upon the size you cut them. While the potatoes are
    cooking in a bowl make the dressing by mixing the mayonnaise, pickle
    relish, sugar, white onion, mustard, vinegar, celery, pimento, carrot,
    parsley, pepper, and salt. When the potatoes are done and have cooled
    add the sauce and refrigerate for 2 hours. The best is if you allow this
    to sit overnight.

    The Colonel’s Baked Beans used to be baked and made fresh daily. Now there
    made with a can of Navy Beans made by Hanover and a bag of sauce and
    precooked frozen bacon. When it is needed it is just microwave and there
    you go.

    beansproutsalad.jpg

    Ingredients:

    2 tablespoon Sesame seeds
    1 pound Fresh bean sprouts thoroughly washed and drained
    3 Garlic cloves, peeled and minced
    2 md Scallions — trimmed & minced
    1 - 1″ cube ginger, peeled and minced
    2 tablespoon Oriental sesame oil
    1/3 cup Soy sauce
    2 tablespoon Cider vinegar
    1 tablespoon Mirin (sweet rice wine)
    2 teaspoon Light brown sugar
    1 teaspoon Spicy sesame oil

    Method

    PREHEAT OVEN TO 300F. Toast the sesame seeds by spreading them
    over the bottom of a pie tin. Roast for 12-to-16 minutes, stirring often,
    until they are golden. The seeds can be toasted in advance and stored
    in an airtight container.
    Place the bean sprouts in a large heatproof bowl and set it aside.
    In a medium-size skillet set over moderately low heat, stir-fry the garlic,
    scallions and ginger in the oil for 2 to 3 minutes, until they are limp. Add
    all the remaining ingredients, increase the heat to moderate, then boil the
    mixture, uncovered, for 1 minute to slightly reduce the liquid. Pour the
    boiling dressing over the bean sprouts, toss well, then cover the bowl and
    chill the salad for several hours. Toss again before serving.

    couscoussummersalad.jpg

    ingredients:

    1/2 cup currants
    1/4 cup orange juice
    1/4 cup lemon juice
    1/3 cup canola oil
    1 tablespoon canola oil
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    3 cups water
    1-1/2 cups couscous
    1 large carrot, diced
    1 large red bell pepper, seeded and diced
    1/2 small red onion, diced
    1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley

    Method

    Place the currants, orange juice, lemon juice, 1/3 cup canola oil, salt,
    cinnamon, and cayenne pepper in a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake
    well. Set aside. Bring the water and 1 Tbsp. canola oil to a boil in a
    medium saucepan. Stir in the couscous, then remove from the heat, cover, and
    let stand for about 6 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Transfer the
    couscous to a large bowl, fluff with a fork, and let cool. Steam the carrot
    and bell pepper until they are a bright color, but still crunchy, about 3
    minutes. Rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and add to the
    couscous. Add the onion and parsley and stir. Shake the dressing again, pour
    it over the couscous mixture, and stir until well blended. Refrigerate for
    at least 1 hour (over night is best). Serve cold.
