ingredients

SALAD
- 1 head iceberg lettuce
- 4 eggs, hard boiled
- 1 1⁄2 cups green olives, pimento stuffed
- 1 cup fresh parsley
- 4 green onions
-
DRESSING
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried dill
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1⁄4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1⁄3 cup extra virgin olive oil
directions
- Chop up the lettuce, parsley, green onions and toss together in your serving bowl. Adjust ingredients up and down according to your taste (spinach would work well in this, too, but has a much more assertive flavor than the blank canvas of the iceberg).
- Slice the green olives and wedge the hard boiled eggs and sprinkle/arrange on top.
- Shake dressing ingredients together in a small jar, adjusting for personal taste (I just eye-ball it myself, measurements are approximate--my MIL used one of those bottled gourmet salad dressings with dill). And pour over salad.
- Toss and serve at table (once everyone has a chance to see your artfully arranged egg and olives on top).
- I imagine some nice thin shavings of parmesan would be tasty in this, too.
- Seems like whole grain bread or rolls would be nice alongside--something with more texture and density than a French baguette, but, hey, it's your dinner, you decide!

Back in the US after 10 years abroad. Good to be home and have good access to more familiar ingredients, however, I also loved all that I learned in my beloved adoptive country of Macedonia. I also had the privilege of running an American style bakery during my last 3 years in Skopje.
Baking is my addiction, but I do love all sorts of cooking. My husband recently ended his 15 year low-carb lifestyle, so we are both busy packing on the pounds and being able to eat forbidden foods together now! Love it (but not how snug my pants are!).
