Recipe
Terrific Salad Sides: 3 Bean Salad and Potato Salad
Ingredients
POTATO SALAD WITH SWEET PEPPERS
16 x new red potatoes
Coarse salt for boiling water
1 x red bell pepper seeded, chopped
1/2 x red onion chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
3 tbl red wine vinegar
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
Coarse salt to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper to taste
3 BEAN SALAD
1/2 lb fresh green beans washed, and
cut into thirds
2 tsp Dijon mustard - (rounded)
2 tsp sugar
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 can red kidney beans - (15 oz) rinsed, drained
1 can garbanzo beans - (15 oz) rinsed, drained
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
Coarse salt to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper to taste
Method
* Place red potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Place pot on stove, cover and bring to a boil. Liberally salt water with coarse salt. Place a colander over boiling pot.
* Take your first ingredient from the bean salad, 1/2 pound cut fresh green beans, and place them in the colander. Cover the colander with pot lid. Steam beans 5 minutes while potatoes boil below. Remove beans and cold shock under running water. Drain green beans and set aside.
* When the potatoes are just tender, about 12 minutes, remove from heat, turn off burner, drain potatoes and cold shock them under running water until just cool enough to handle. Coarsely chop potatoes and return them to the warm pot.
* Add peppers, onions, mint, parsley and vinegar to the pot. Toss to allow the vinegar to absorb into the potatoes. Add oil and stir the potatoes until they mash up a bit and salad has a spoonable consistency. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and transfer to a serving bowl.
* In a bowl, combine mustard, sugar and vinegar. Whisk in oil. Add kidney beans, garbanzo beans, green beans and parsley to the bowl and toss to coat bean salad evenly with dressing. Season salad with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.
* This recipe yields 8 servings of each salad.

Apple Danish Pastries

Recipe
Apple Danish Pastries
Ingredients
pkt Active dry yeast
2 x Or cakes compressed yeast
1/4 cup Water * see note
3/4 cup Milk scalded
Sugar
2 tsp Salt
1 1/3 cup Butter or margarine divided
1/2 tsp Lemon extract
3 x Eggs beaten
4 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
1 can (20 ozs.) sliced apples
3 tsp Cinnamon
Method
* Use very warm water (105` to 115`) for dry yeast; use lukewarm water
(80` to 90`) for compressed yeast. Sprinkle dry yeast or crumbled cake into water. Let stand a few minutes, then stir until dissolved. Pour hot milk over 1/3 cup sugar, the salt and 1/3 cup butter. Cool to lukewarm. Add the yeast mixture. Stir in the lemon extract and eggs. Add the flour gradually.
Place the dough in a greased 9×13x2-inch pan. Chill for 1 to 2 hours. Turn the chilled dough out onto a floured surface. Roll into a rectangle 16×12-inches. Spread 1/3 cup butter or margarine over 2/3 of the dough.
Fold the unspread portion of the dough over half the covered portion. Fold the 3rd section over the first 2.
Roll the dough to its original size, and repeat this process twice, using the remaining butter. Return the dough to the refrigerator, and chill overnight.
Next day, divide the dough in half. Roll each half into a rectangle 14×9-inches. Cut into strips 14×3/4-inches. Twist and form each strip into a spiral roll. Put a few drained apple slices in center of each. Sprinkle with the cinnamon mixed with 1/2 cup sugar. Cover. Let rise in a warm place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk. Bake in preheated 375` oven for about 12 minutes.
Makes about 2 dozen Wis/Gramma
