6 potatoes + 7 eggs + 2 apples (Preventing Apples from Browning: mix with lemon juice before blend with other ingredients) + mayo

santa monica beach


I’m blessed to go on a youth event, Santa Monica beach. But we don’t get to go to beach; instead, we go to the elder’s home for dinner. A dinner full of yummy foods, burgers, hot dogs, salads, fruits, desserts, drinks and much more, a lot of fun with younger crowds and nice talk with parents.

Something very remarkable is I get the delicious and healthy salad ingredient from the beautiful, kind, hospitality hostess.


The raw kale salad, here’s the ingredients. Kale, of course and lot of it, cucumbers, bell peppers(I use three different kinds of bell peppers, red, yellow and orange.), sliced almond, dried cranberries (I try mangos cues instead, it tastes good.) and the dressing. But for this dressing, I need to go to the supermarket to get the exact name of it, I don’t quite remember it. It looks and tastes really good.
 
In my mind or in my kids’ mind, the kale are not good for any receipt, the smell, the taste, bitter, maybe, especially the raw ones. And from this, it totally change the way we thought about the kale. We even take all the kale salad left over home and I will for sure to try it on myself shortly.

potato salad

Cucumbers and apples are strongly recommended for the potato salad. They make the potato tastes naturally light sweet, crunchy and colorful. Of course you need potatoes and hard boiled eggs, they give the salad creamy taste and pleasant scent. Also don't forget have some salt and ground black pepper to taste.

When I was young, I used to make my own mayo. It not that easy but at least you'll know what's in it. I use pure raw egg yolks and oil. Make sure to separate egg yolk and egg white carefully. You need lemon juice and oil.

I still remember at that time my eldest uncle, he loves my homemade mayo a lot, and he always designates the potato salad from me whenever we have a family reunion. I really miss him and the old time.

The following is how make it, first mix egg yolk and lemon juice together until smooth. then have the oil add in it drop by drop and use spoon to blend them together stir it with chopstick one direction only until it is thick and then you add in the oil faster continue stir until all the oil is gone.

Make sure the container is clean and dry, have the egg yolk pure as possible, and stir only same direction. Then you will a flawless mayo.


For the potato salad, you can eat it along. Or can have it with the French bread together and that is a perfect match. Yum!
