Spring to Summer Salad

from the www.amateurgourmet.com

note: we used green beans instead of snowpeas and it was delicious

Ingredients:

beets, string beans or snap peas, radishes, carrots, hard boiled eggs

olive oil, balsamic vinegar, your favorite mustard (optional), salt, pepper

"To make the salad, I just stringed the snap peas (you pull the little tail across the pea until the string is gone), boiled some beets (you drop in boiling water with some vinegar and salt and then, when you can get a knife through the beet, it's done), peeled some carrots, sliced some radishes and then hard boiled those eggs.

To get your eggs pretty, just place the eggs at the bottom of a saucepan, cover with cold water, put on the heat, when it comes just to the boil, put the lid on, turn the heat off and wait 8-10 minutes. Then drop the eggs in ice water, peel under a faucet.

Toss the vegetables with really good olive oil, some balsamic vinegar (or whatever your favorite vinegar is), salt and pepper (we added mustard too).
