rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr CHILD HEALTH ASSOCIATES, P.C. Hot Weather Cool Salads ILENE SPECTOR SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS Almost any ingredient can turn into a salad today. Salads can be served warm, cold or even room temperature. Salads for late /— spring or summer get-togethers call for make-ahead recipes that won't wilt on the buffet or picnic table. Combining rice or other grains can make a hearty yet light warm weather meal. Even an or- dinary potato salad can be up- dated with some fresh herbs for a fresh new taste. Do try some different greens each time. The texture and fla- vor of Bibb lettuce can create a pleasing and welcome taste with the right ingredients and sea- soning. And don't forget the new fla- vored oils and vinegars on the market. You can make the sim- plest salad something special by using just the right dressing. Start easy with the new fancy mixed greens in a bag. One of my favorite dressings is to combine a creamy Caesar with a regular Caesar dressing, one part to one part. Sprinkle your greens with some fresh snipped herbs and serve with a fresh crusty loaf of bread for a wonderful hearty yet light summer meal.
