Mommy saw this in her Quick Cooking magazine one day and decided to give it a try. Our entire family likes it on green beans. Grandmommie likes it too and puts it on all kinds of vegetables. This is also a great one to sprinkle on fried cucumber, squash, and tomatoes. Grandmommie makes that for us sometimes and it is so yummy!

Coban Salata
Salad:
3 large tomatoes
2 cucumbers
Dice the vegetables and place them in a bowl.
Lemon & Oil Dressing:
¼ C. olive oil
¼ C. lemon juice
½ tsp sea salt
1-2 TB dill weed
Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Whip with a fork until the dressing is a creamy white with green flakes. :) Pour Lemon & Oil dressing over vegetables and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes. This tastes better if it is refrigerated and marinated for several hours.
Mommy first tried this when she and Daddy lived in Turkey. This is a Hannah, Daniel, and Mommy favorite! This can also be made with zucchini or yellow squash or a combination of squash, zucchini, and cucumber. We usually put a lot of dill weed in it. Maybe one day our garden will have both cucumbers and tomatoes at the same time and we can make this! :)

Lemon Garlic Dressing
¾ C. lemon juice (app. 4 lemons)
4 cloves garlic, minced
¼ C. olive oil
1 tsp sea salt
Combine lemon juice and garlic cloves. Allow the garlic to soak in the lemon juice for at least 10 minutes. Strain out garlic and add olive oil and sea salt to garlic lemon juice. Shake well to combine before serving.
This is yummy salad dressing. One day when we went to Mrs. Munzo's house for lunch Mommy brought this. I got a little carried away and used 6 or 7 cloves of garlic. Whew! It was so garlic-ly. I don't think you children enjoyed it as much as when I make it the normal way. :)

Jason's Salsa
2 cans (28 oz. total) diced tomatoes, drained well
½ onion
1 clove garlic, minced or 1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp cilantro leaves
1 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp parsley
2 jalapeno peppers, stems removed
1 TB lemon juice
1 TB lime juice
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend to desired consistency.
Note to Team Southerland- Do not allow a person with a cold to make this with free access to several jalapeno's. Daddy did that to us in Virginia once. Mommy did a "modified stationary panic" until my thoughts returned to my mind and I ran to get something to drink. It was the hottest thing I have ever tasted! Daddy took it to church and there was a couple in attendance who lived in Guatemala. They tasted Daddy's salsa and said, "The flavor is really good but it is too spicy!" :) We laughed and laughed. Someone even drew a little picture of a man with tears running down his face and set it up against the serving container of salsa. (It might have been Daddy who did that!) :) I think the 2 jalapenos are about the max that Mommy can take in this but it sure does have a fantastic flavor! By the way, Daddy's salsa has nothing on Uncle Michael's salsa. His is so hot that the guys sweat when they eat it. Now that is some serious "clearing your sinuses" food! :)

Shell's Guacamole
1 avocado
1 tsp lime juice
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp cilantro
¼ tsp garlic powder
Halve and scoop avocado into a bowl. Add remaining ingredients. Smash it all together with a fork. Enjoy!
A long time ago I ordered the Guacamole Live! at On the Border restaurant while we lived in Virginia. It was an appetizer that they made for you at your table. I came home and recreated this recipe after watching how they did it. They didn’t use garlic powder so I added that part in because I like garlic. :) Daniel loves this stuff and would eat an entire bowl of it if I let him. He and I usually polish off a bowl if this in no time flat. He is my guacamole buddy! Maybe one day he will be making this for his wife and children. :)
