Another winner from you, Bergy! This was incredible--everyone was oohing and aahing over how gourmet this salad is---(I bought oyster and shiitake mushrooms to use in the salad instead of regular ones) and I also gave in and bought a gourmet mix of greens--arugula, rocket, etc and added LOTS of parsley. A very potent little salat. THANK YOU....... — posted Oct 6, 2002, 2 members found this helpful

This was quite a good salad. I cut the recipe in half and used a gourmet mix of greens. Had arugula and spinach and butter lettuce and other leaves. For the mushrooms I bought Portabello because my friend doesn't like button and the only other choice was Portabello. Slim pickings for mushrooms this week at grocery store. I found it just had a tiny tad too strong taste of vinegar and I would of liked a bit more zip so perhaps a bit more mustard next time or the cayenne. But a real delicious salad and dressing. Great for our lunch with a soup. Thanks for your post Bergy.

WOW! The dressing for this salad was fabulous! DH and I really loved the spicy flavor that it gave the butter lettuce. I substituted 1/4 tsp dijon mustard because I didn't have dry mustard and I substituted shitake and cremini mushrooms for regular ones. I also added a little of avocado to the top of the salad. So good and refreshing. Thanks!

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
Here are a few of my photos
