05-06 Ensalada Guacamole

You can put together the salad anytime but prepare the dressing just before serving.
This always disappears at the potlucks. Its a great side with Mexican dishes.

Layer in a large salad bowl:
1 head of romaine lettuce or that amount of baby lettuces
1/2 c Monterey, cheddar or similar combo cheese, grated
1/2 c scallions or green onions, chopped fine
8 -10 cherry tomatoes halved or 4-5 Romas, chunked
Cover and refrigerate until serving

Dressing- Mix together well:
1 avocado, peeled and mashed
1/2 c plain yogurt
1/3 c canola oil
1 T picante sauce or salsa
1 T lemon juice
Pour dressing over salad and top with:
1 c corn chips, crushed


You can add chicken strips or beans for a cool meal at the end of a hot day.

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

Mix 1 lb lean ground beef 2 eggs 1 c Italian bread crumbs 1/2 c spaghetti sauce (more or less, see how it looks) The longer you mix/beat them, the more tender they will be Form meatballs and bake at 350F about 12 minutes Use in meal immediately or freeze for later Put in spaghetti or any pasta will work. Meatball sandwiches would be good too!
