I love the Butter Bean and Tomato Salad recipe. This recipe is a keeper and one that I will make many times in the future. It is full of strong flavors and smells. I can still smell the onion in my kitchen and I love the smell of freshly chopped basil. I think basil is my favorite smell right now.
I had the salad for dinner last night and I liked it well enough to make another salad to server with pita chips at this month's book club meeting tonight. Everyone really seemed to enjoy it and I just got an email from someone saying that it was a keeper. Yea for me, I got a gold star on the first try.
I was right about cutting back on the salt in this recipe. I cut it in half and thought it tasted just fine. Three tablespoons of salt is a lot of salt if you ask me.
One recipe down and many more to go. I picked out my recipe for next time and I decided to make curry cucumber soup. I should be good with the farmers market on this one. I know I can get cucumbers without any problems.
One thing I am figuring out fast is that you need certain staples in your kitchen to really be a good cook. I think by the time this project of mine is over I will have figured most everything out of what I should be stocking at all times. Let's hope any way.
