Title: Summer Salad Parisienne
Categories: Maindish
Yield: 4 Servings

3 md Red potatoes
1/2 lb Green beans
1 md Cucumber
3 cl Garlic, minced
2 tb Dijon mustard
1/3 c Olive oil
1 md Carrots finely diced
1/2 md Red pepper, thinly sliced
1/4 c Red cabbage, julienned
1/4 c Red onion, minced
1 Head romaine lettuce
1/4 c Fresh herbs, minced
1/4 c Parmesan cheese grated
Black pepper to taste
1 tb Sesame seeds
1/4 c Lemon juice

Put 2 quarts of water to boil in a medium size pot. Do NOT salt.

Scrub the potatoes & boil, without peeling, until fork tender. When done,
remove from potatoes & cool before dicing. Meanwhile, trim the green beans
& steam for 5-7 minutes. Peel, seed & dice the cucumber. In the bottom of
a large salad bowl, whisk the garlic into the mustard until well combined.
Pour in the olive oil a little at a time, whisking well after each
addition. You will have a smooth, pungent sauce.

Add the potatoes, green beans, cucumber, carrot, bell pepper, cabbage &
onion to the bowl & toss well to coat with the dressing. Wash & dry the
romaine & tear into bite sized pieces. Add to the bowl, along with the
herbs & Parmesan. Toss again to combine well. Grind on some pepper,
sprinkle on the sesame seeds & drizzle lemon juice over everything. Toss
again & serve.
