Expert Tips

To blanch the asparagus and pea pods, plunge them into boiling water for 10 to 15 seconds or until they turn bright green. Remove from boiling water, then plunge into pan of ice and water to stop the cooking; drain.

Leftover pasta salad? Toss in some cooked chicken or ham for a delicious main-dish salad.

    Note for Jeanette: Frozen peas and tuna would go VERY nicely with this recipe as would grilled salmon (yumm!). A dear friend of mine served me salmon that he caught in the Cascade Mountains that was divine! He simply places the salmon steak on foil, squeezes fresh lemon over it, sprinkles with brown sugar, and dots with butter. Closes the foil and grills. To date, his salmon is the best that I have ever had. {waving to Ken! Thanks Buddy and I miss you!}

    Quick and easy to make. A bit on the tart side. Kept well overnight. Perhaps too on the bland side for me.
