Mimi’s Kick Ass Salad
This is a salad bursting with colors and flavors. I created this as a variation of the corn and black bean salad, and substituted boiled peanuts for black beans, and used my homemade dressing of olive oil/lemon juice, salt and pepper. Instant hit at parties, I never have leftovers how much I make of this.
Rasam: Basic Recipe
The ultimate comfort food of South Indian cuisine. This is a tamarind/tomato based soupy dish, great by itself or with rice and a simple stir-fried vegetable. After days of feasting/travel, I always crave a simple rasam.
Caprese
This is a good summer salad that can be a meal by itself. Use season fresh beefsteak tomatoes and good quality cheese. Add some toasted ciabatta and you have a meal in under 30 minutes or less.
