Salad Days

Monday 8 September

Or a lot of leftovers. Before heading off to the picnic yesterday, we just had to set out some appetizers. So we had roasted some happy red red peppers, and served them up with the usual capergarlicoreganosaltpepper topping and olive oil. Then the market had provided a mess (liter, half a bushel, who knows) of little mixed sized white potatoes. We sorted though, picked out the tiniest, cutest ones, and boiled them in a little salted thymed bayleafed water, then tossed with just a smidgen of red onion, chives, and tarragon, with oil and the white balsamic vinegar. So cuuuuuuute.
These all furnished forth the dinner. So the leftover of
1) potato salad
2) roasted peppers
3) roasted baby beets with a sprinkling of goaty goat cheese
4) and the absolute last (no, really) of the nice chicken meat, diced, with a little celery, red onion, and mayo to bind.
All went well with the Vineland St. Urban Riesling.
Four leftover salads: sort of a smörgåsbord (note the umlaut and the little º thingy).
