Add whatever you have = on hand =AD cooked beans, nuts etc. A good suggestion for the fresh = herbs would be basil, tarragon & chives. = The other salad dish I make very frequently in hot weather is = Indonesian Chicken Salad w/Peanut Sauce. As a matter of fact, that is = what we had tonight. Everyone ate heartily, especially a teenage = guest and my four year old daughter. I'm not posting it here, as I = have posted it before. But if anyone requests it, I'll be happy to = send it out again. = I hope you enjoy these. I'm feeling a little shy about posting = because of the extraneous marks. I've been swamped with my freelance = project and therefore behind on my mail - but so far haven't seen any = explanation for the marks or suggestions for how to keep them out of = my posts. They are like little cyber-bollweevils! Ilene Evanston IL
