Any ideas for a great veggie salad or dish? I likecauliflower, broccoli, peas, cucumbers, peppers... Not a fan of brussel sprouts and asapargus, that kindof stuff.

******************

Very simple cucumber salad that I've loved since I was a kid.

Stir together equal amounts of water and white vinegar and add sweetener to taste. (the original recipe calls for equal amounts of water, vinegar and sugar, but I never used that much sugar).

Pour over sliced cucumbers, onions and pepper strips (I use red pepper because it looks pretty ) Refrigerate overnight for best flavor.

***************************

Broccoli salad

2 bunches broccoli, cup up in small pieces

One cup of each of the following:

Shredded cheese (lf)

sunflower seeds

onions (chopped fine)

celery (chopped fine)

bacon bits (I use real turkey bacon fried crisp and crumbled)

grapes - cut in half

Dressing - 1 C mayo, 1/2 to 3/4 C Splenda (to taste), 2 TBLS vinegar. Mix together and add to salad ingredients.

Enjoy!

But you reminded me of a veggie I'm not fond of: brussel

sprouts.

If anyone has a good way of cooking these, please share. I'd like to give

them another try since my sister keeps telling me how yummy they are.

And cabbage... love it. Hated it before. But I'm in the market for new ways

to make it, combine it with other foods, whatever.

Thanks!

Have you tried sauted veggies?? I do broccoli, zucchini, brussels sprouts and cabbage this way. I add garlic, peppers, sometimes onions and whatever else I feel like at the time. It gives the veggies a whole different flavor.

One of our favorite (and easiest) meals is steamed cabbage and turkey kielbasa. I have a big steamer so I can do it all together.

No, because I just toss them together as I want at that time, and don't

keep track. But you reminded me of a veggie I'm not fond of: brussel
