A good dinner is never complete without fresh green salad. Here is my version of a simple green salad that is cheap but complete. It takes approximately 15 minutes to prepare:

Ingredients:
• 6 cups torn pieces of iceberg and/or romaine lettuce
• 2 small tomatoes, cored and cut into wedges
• 1 medium-size cucumber, peeled and sliced
• 1 medium-size sweet green pepper, cut into rings
• 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled for the dressing
• 2/3 cup olive oil
• 3 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground pepper

Just follow this simple procedure:

Toss together lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber in a serving bowl. Top with green pepper rings and feta cheese.Set aside. Whisk together all the ingredients for the salad dressing. When ready to serve, toss salad with the dressing. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

This recipe was was passed to me by my lady friend who is a vegetarian. Surprisingly, the lemon juice and zest made the sprouts taste pleasant. The absence of any meat still made the recipe filling because of the almond slivers. The recipe takes only 15 minutes to prepare.

Ingredients:
• 2     containers 10 oz fresh brussels sprouts
• 3     tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup slivered almonds
• 1     red pepper, julienned
• 1     teaspoon grated lemon zest
• 1     tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, ground

In a skillet, simmer sprouts in just enough water. Cook for 8 minutes until crisp-tender. Drain and set aside. In the same skillet, melt butter. Add almonds and red pepper. Stir fry for 2 minutes until lightly brown. Add sprouts, gently stirring until hot. Remove from heat. Stir in zest, juice, salt and pepper.

Makes 8 servings.
