I bookmarked this potato salad a few weeks ago and finally got around to making it for lunch. Potatoes, green beans, salmon and hard boiled eggs with a sharp Dijon-y dressing. I’m usually tempted to add all manner of exotic spices or unexpected ingredients to recipes, but I didn’t want to mess with this salad much. I only tweaked the dressing and omitted the capers.
It’s a nice balance of starch, vegetables and protein that filled me up but didn’t feel too heavy. Honestly, it’s a perfect lunch since it doesn’t even require that strenuous trip down a flight of stairs to the microwave. So glad I’ve got leftovers for tomorrow!

When we were in Austin for SxSW this year, we followed someone’s recommendation to get some tacos at Torchy’s. I can’t remember where I read about it or who recommended it, but I wish I could thank them. The tacos were fresh and inventive and your tacos are cooked to order in an old van. You can also order a bucket of beers from the bar next door. Too bad I had a raging hangover from too many free Phizz-tinis the night before. (Don’t ask.) I had a seared tuna taco and shredded pork one. We ate them at a tiny metal garden table as the sun set. It was a perfect last meal in Austin.
Since my husband is addicted to all manner of Mexican food, I make tacos regularly and have started branching out from the traditional meat with onions, cilantro and lime juice. Last night, I broiled a couple of salmon filets simply with salt and pepper. Then I topped them off with a salad of yellow onion, radicchio, yellow carrots, cilantro, lemon & lime. They were really light and refreshing. Perfect for a sunset and a beer. Too bad all we had was seltzer and the TV.
