... I love chopping it's the best thing about cooking. Oh I love to slice & dice too. That's why I was so excited to see the huge bag of garlic my hubby brought home. I chopped & chopped & peeled & peeled! I keep a little bowl of water to dip my fingers in when they become too sticky. I decided to make him some potato salad which he loves with lots of garlic & black olives, a little reward.
I chopped until my heart was content!
Garlic Olive Potato Salad
6 boiled potatoes cubed
3 large cloves of garlic
1/2 Fresh Parsley - I used curly type
3/4 C Mayo
2 small red Bell Peppers
1 small White Onion
2 Stalks of Celery
I can of Jumbo Black Olives sliced
1 tbsp. dried basil
Salt & Pepper to taste
Hubby was happy! He loves garlic. The whole house smelled like a wonderful garlic garden.
I input the recipe into SparkPeople's Recipe Calculator and for 1/2 Cup Serving it has 152 calories.
I put some whole cloves into olive oil & placed in the frig to use later and I will be using that oil when all the cloves are gone.
I decided to keep some unpeeled cloves in my cute garlic holder. It's so full when you lift the top they tumble out. Doesn't it look like it's smiling? :)
So inspired by this gift of delicious stinky garlic; & my love of chopping, slicing & dicing; I had to go paint this little ACEO...
