Green Onion (chopped) 1/4 tsp. Garlic Powder 1/4 tsp. Salt 1/8 tsp. Ground Black Pepper In a 2 quart microwavable casserole, place the potatoes; cover and microwave on high 3 to 5 minutes or until desired doneness. Cool for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the honey and mustard until well blended. Add the remaining ingredients to the potatoes in the casserole bowl. Pour the honey mixture over the salad; mix gently to coat. Serve warm. CILANTRO-LIME CUCUMBER SALAD1 Jalapeno (seeded, finely diced) 2 Cloves Garlic (finely minced) 3 Tbsp. Fresh Lime Juice 1/4 tsp. Crushed Red pepper 1/2 tsp. Salt (or to taste) Black Pepper (to taste) 3 Tbsp. Olive Oil 2 Cucumbers (very finely sliced) 4 Tbsp. Cilantro (minced) Dice the jalapeno and garlic and place into a medium size bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, the crushed red pepper, salt and pepper. Use a whisk to incorporate the 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Set aside. Finely slice the cucumber, they need to be as thin as you can make them! (see picture) Add the cucumbers to the dressing and stir together. Finely mince the cilantro and add it to the bowl. Stir to combine. You can serve it immediately or let it sit for a couple hours to marinate. It is best to serve this salad at room temperature, olive oil solidifies slightly when cold. RED BEET EGGS3 Cups Liquid (from canned red beets) 1 Cup Cider Vinegar 1 to 1 1/3 Cups White Sugar (to taste) 1/4 tsp. Ground Cinnamon 1/8 tsp. Ground Cloves 1/3 tsp. Salt 1 Dozen Hard Boiled Eggs (peeled) Combine the beet liquid, vinegar, sugar and spices in a sauce pan. Heat to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool until just warm. Pour over hard boiled eggs in a non-reactive container (a large glass jar works well). Refrigerate for at least a day before serving. The eggs are more colorful and have more flavor if they are allowed to soak in the pickling liquid longer. It is also tasty (and helpful) to dump the sliced red beets in with the eggs. Helps keep the eggs below the liquid level, plus they taste great. GRILLED BBQ CHICKENWITH WHITE BBQ SAUCE4 lbs. Ass.
