Curry Coleslaw
Coleslaw with an Asian flavor. Great combination of curry, ginger, and peanuts.
Tomato Salsa without Onions
My mother-in-law loves Tex-Mex but has an onion allergy. After several attempts, I invented an authentic-tasting salsa without onions that derives some of its smoky flavor from roasted poblano pepper. I've taken to roasting the peppers in bulk so I can always have some on hand.
Tuna Ball
There's nothing fancy about a tuna ball, but it tastes great at parties and other get-togethers. Chopped pecans give this blend of tuna, cream cheese, and onion a light crunch. I love this appetizer with veggies and crackers.
