PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Untraditional Salad Nicoise" Posted by Karchita on 05-19-10 at 05:49 PM

This was another favorite from last summer around here.Untraditional Salad Nicoise Adapted from Sunset; Serves 8 to 10 3/4 pound green beans, cut into 2-in. lengths 4-5 red potatoes, scrubbed 1/4 cup white wine vinegar 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 medium red onion, slivered, rinsed, and drained 1-2 lemons or 2 tablespoons bottled lemon juice 1 cup mayonnaise 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 medium garlic clove About 1/4 tsp. kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons drained capers 1 cup pitted Niçoise olives optional: 1 cup seeded, chopped cucumbers 1. Cook green beans in a large pot of boiling water just until tender-crisp, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain, cool in a bowl of ice water, drain again, and chill until ready to use. 2. Put potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer just until tender when pierced, about 15 minutes. Drain. When they're cool enough to handle, quarter potatoes and put them in a large bowl. Pour vinegar and olive oil over warm potatoes; add the onion, mix gently, and let stand until cool. 3. Meanwhile, make aioli: Finely shred peel of 1 lemon and squeeze enough lemons to get 2 tbsp. juice. Stir together mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, salt, and lots of pepper until smooth. Add lemon zest and blend. 4. Mix cool potatoes with aioli and the capers. Cover; chill until cold. 5. Just before serving, gently stir in green beans, olives, cucumbers, and more mayonnaise if salad is too dry, and salt and pepper to taste.
