  1. Very good salad and a nice change from the usual potato salad ladden with mayo. I made a few changes based on what I had on hand -- by using 1 green pepper chopped instead of the green peas and I also subbed 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon and 1/4 teaspoon ground dried savory for the fresh. I also used kosher salt instead of sea salt. Even with these subsitutions this was a delicious salad and no one missed the mayo. Thanks for sharing!

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
