This version of the summer side salad dish uses red new potatoes, sugar snap peas and chives in a fresh-tasting rice vinegar and mint dressing. When it comes to potluck desserts, I'm completely old-fashioned. I've been making chewy, moist Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cake for 25 years, ever since the recipe ran in our children's nursery school community cookbook. Strawberry shortcake is easy to carry to a picnic if you pack the components separately. Then let fellow-picnickers assemble their own dessert.
Potlucks are about camaraderie and community spirit.
This green sauce is based on an old German recipe. The hard-cooked egg thickens the sauce and enriches the flavors without using mayonnaise. Brush mixture on fish pieces and season with pepper. Remove salmon to serving dish. To prepare sauce, mince garlic in food processor.
