Description

A handsomely arranged combination salad can be the solution for what to serve at an informal spur-of-the-moment meal. The trick is to toss all of the elements separately in vinaigrette, letting some marinate for 10 to 20 minutes if they need to take on flavor. Then when you arrange your work of art, each part of it is perfectly seasoned. Here is a hearty meatless combination.

Ingredients

Vinaigrette
1 can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
Raw zucchini, sliced
Raw mushrooms, sliced
Mixed salad greens
Hard-boiled eggs
Tomatoes
Olives
Anchovies
Chunks of tuna or other fish
Chopped parsley

Directions

  1. Marinate kidney beans, zucchini, and mushrooms in vinaigrette for 20 to 30 minutes.
  2. At serving time, toss mixed salad greens in a bowl with vinaigrette and arrange around the edges of a large serving dish. Mound the beans in the center, and decorate base with groups of marinated mushrooms and zucchini interspersed with hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes, olives, anchovies, chunks of tuna or other fish.
  3. Pour a bit more vinaigrette over all, sprinkle with chopped parsley or other herbs, and serve with French bread and a chilled rosé wine.
